[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Release ctx->syncobj on final put, not on ctx close

gem context refcounting is another exercise in least locking design it
seems, where most things get destroyed upon context closure (which can
race with anything really). Only the actual memory allocation and the
locks survive while holding a reference.

This tripped up Jason when reimplementing the single timeline feature
in

    drm/i915: Implement SINGLE_TIMELINE with a syncobj (v4)

We could fix the bug by holding ctx->mutex, but it's cleaner to just
make the context object actually invariant over its _entire_ lifetime.
