drm/i915/gt: Incrementally check for rewinding

In commit 5ba32c7be81e ("drm/i915/execlists: Always force a context
reload when rewinding RING_TAIL"), we placed the check for rewinding a
context on actually submitting the next request in that context. This
was so that we only had to check once, and could do so with precision
avoiding as many forced restores as possible. For example, to ensure
that we can resubmit the same request a couple of times, we include a
small wa_tail such that on the next submission, the ring->tail will
appear to move forwards when resubmitting the same request. This is very
common as it will happen for every lite-restore to fill the second port
after a context switch.

However, intel_ring_direction() is limited in precision to movements of
upto half the ring size. The consequence being that if we tried to
unwind many requests, we could exceed half the ring and flip the sense
of the direction, so missing a force restore. As no request can be
greater than half the ring (i.e. 2048 bytes in the smallest case), we
can check for rollback incrementally. As we check against the tail that
would be submitted, we do not lose any sensitivity and allow lite
restores for the simple case. We still need to double check upon
submitting the context, to allow for multiple preemptions and
resubmissions.

from the most frequently allocated struct vs an 3 bytes and pointer
chasing in using rq->engine->i915?

drm/i915/gt: Refactor l3cc/mocs availability

On dgfx, we only use l3cc and not mocs, but we share the table
containing both register definitions with Tigerlake. This confuses our
selftest that verifies that both sets of registers do contain the values
in our tables after various events (idling, reset, activity etc).

When constructing the table of register definitions, also include the
flags for which registers are valid so that information is computed
centrally and available to all callers.

drm/i915: Remove i915->kernel_context

Allocate only an internal intel_context for the kernel_context, forgoing
a global GEM context for internal use as we only require a separate
address space (for our own protection).

Now having weaned GT from requiring ce->gem_context, we can stop
referencing it entirely. This also means we no longer have to create random
and unnecessary GEM contexts for internal use.

GEM contexts are now entirely for tracking GEM clients, and intel_context
the execution environment on the GPU.

drm/i915: Serialise with engine-pm around requests on the kernel_context

As the engine->kernel_context is used within the engine-pm barrier, we
have to be careful when emitting requests outside of the barrier, as the
strict timeline locking rules do not apply. Instead, we must ensure the
engine_park() cannot be entered as we build the request, which is
simplest by taking an explicit engine-pm wakeref around the request
construction.

Probe the mocs registers for new contexts and across GPU resets. Similar
to intel_workarounds, we have tables of what register values we expect
to see, so verify that user contexts are affected by them. In the
future, we should add tests similar to intel_sseu to cover dynamic
reconfigurations.
