      Use the DRM scheduler for delayed GT TLB invalidations, which properly
fixes the issue raised in [1]. GT TLB fences have their own dma-fence
context, so even if the invalidations are ordered, the dma-resv/DRM
scheduler cannot squash the fences. This results in O(M*N*N) complexity
in the garbage collector, where M is the number of ranges in the garbage
collector and N is the number of pending GT TLB invalidations. After
this change, the resulting complexity in O(M*C) where C is the number of
TLB invalidation contexts (i.e., number of exec queue, GTs tuples) with
an invalidation in flight.

Admittedly, it's quite a lot of code, but the series includes extensive
kernel documentation and clear code comments. It introduces a generic
dependency scheduler that can be reused in the future and is logically
much cleaner than the previous open-coded solution for delaying GT TLB
invalidations until a bind job completes.

v2:
 - Various cleanup covered in detail in change logs
 - Use a per-GT ordered workqueue as DRM scheduler workqueue
 - Remove unused ftrace points
v3:
 - Address Stuarts feedback
 - Fix kernel doc, minor cleanups
v4:
 - Rebase
