[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v1 0/7] Move dma-buf mmap() reservation locking down to exporters

This patchset makes dma-buf exporters responisble for taking care of
the reservation lock. I also included patch that moves drm-shmem to use
reservation lock, to let CI test the whole set. I'm going to take all
the patches via the drm-misc tree, please give an ack.

Previous policy stated that dma-buf core takes the lock around mmap()
callback. Which meant that both importers and exporters shouldn't touch
the reservation lock in the mmap() code path. This worked well until
Intel-CI found a deadlock problem in a case of self-imported dma-buf [1].

The problem happens when userpace mmaps a self-imported dma-buf, i.e.
mmaps the dma-buf FD. DRM core treats self-imported dma-bufs as own GEMs
[2]. There is no way to differentiate a prime GEM from a normal GEM for
drm-shmem in drm_gem_shmem_mmap(), which resulted in a deadlock problem
for drm-shmem mmap() code path once it's switched to use reservation lock.

It was difficult to fix the drm-shmem problem without adjusting dma-buf
locking policy. In parctice not much changed from importers perspective
because previosly dma-buf was taking the lock in between of importers
and exporters. Now this lock is shifted down to exporters.
