[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v5 10/13] drm/i915: try to simplify make_{un}shrinkable

Drop the atomic shrink_pin stuff, and just have make_{un}shrinkable
update the shrinker visible lists immediately. This at least simplifies
the next patch, and does make the behaviour more obvious. The potential
downside is that make_unshrinkable now grabs a global lock even when the
object itself is no longer shrinkable(transitioning from purgeable <->
shrinkable doesn't seem to be a thing), for example in the ppGTT
insertion paths we should now be careful not to needlessly call
make_unshrinkable multiple times. Outside of that there is some fallout
in intel_context which relies on nesting calls to shrink_pin.
