Merge branch 'drm-kms-locking' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel into drm-next

The aim of this locking rework is that ioctls which a compositor should be
might call for every frame (set_cursor, page_flip, addfb, rmfb and
getfb/create_handle) should not be able to block on kms background
activities like output detection. And since each EDID read takes about
25ms (in the best case), that always means we'll drop at least one frame.

The solution is to add per-crtc locking for these ioctls, and restrict
background activities to only use the global lock. Change-the-world type
of events (modeset, dpms, ...) need to grab all locks.

Two tricky parts arose in the conversion:
- A lot of current code assumes that a kms fb object can't disappear while
  holding the global lock, since the current code serializes fb
  destruction with it. Hence proper lifetime management using the already
  created refcounting for fbs need to be instantiated for all ioctls and
  interfaces/users.

- The rmfb ioctl removes the to-be-deleted fb from all active users. But
  unconditionally taking the global kms lock to do so introduces an
  unacceptable potential stall point. And obviously changing the userspace
  abi isn't on the table, either. Hence this conversion opportunistically
  checks whether the rmfb ioctl holds the very last reference, which
  guarantees that the fb isn't in active use on any crtc or plane (thanks
  to the conversion to the new lifetime rules using proper refcounting).
  Only if this is not the case will the code go through the slowpath and
  grab all modeset locks. Sane compositors will never hit this path and so
  avoid the stall, but userspace relying on these semantics will also not
  break.

All these cases are exercised by the newly added subtests for the i-g-t
kms_flip, tested on a machine where a full detect cycle takes around 100
ms.  It works, and no frames are dropped any more with these patches
applied.  kms_flip also contains a special case to exercise the
above-describe rmfb slowpath.
