Resurrect of the previosuly merged per client engine busyness patches. In a
nutshell it enables intel_gpu_top to be more top(1) like useful and show not
only physical GPU engine usage but per process view as well.

Example screen capture:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
intel-gpu-top -  906/ 955 MHz;    0% RC6;  5.30 Watts;      933 irqs/s

      IMC reads:     4414 MiB/s
     IMC writes:     3805 MiB/s

Internally we track time spent on engines for each struct intel_context, both
for current and past contexts belonging to each open DRM file.

This can serve as a building block for several features from the wanted list:
smarter scheduler decisions, getrusage(2)-like per-GEM-context functionality
wanted by some customers, setrlimit(2) like controls, cgroups controller,
dynamic SSEU tuning, ...

To enable userspace access to the tracked data, we expose time spent on GPU per
client and per engine class in sysfs with a hierarchy like the below:

	# cd /sys/class/drm/card0/clients/
	# tree
	.
	├── 7
	│   ├── busy
	│   │   ├── 0
	│   │   ├── 1
	│   │   ├── 2
	│   │   └── 3
	│   ├── name
	│   └── pid
	├── 8
	│   ├── busy
	│   │   ├── 0
	│   │   ├── 1
	│   │   ├── 2
	│   │   └── 3
	│   ├── name
	│   └── pid
	└── 9
	    ├── busy
	    │   ├── 0
	    │   ├── 1
	    │   ├── 2
	    │   └── 3
	    ├── name
	    └── pid

Files in 'busy' directories are numbered using the engine class ABI values and
they contain accumulated nanoseconds each client spent on engines of a
respective class.
