drm/i915: Keep a per-engine request pool

Browse Source 
Add a tiny per-engine request mempool so that we should always have a
request available for powermanagement allocations from tricky
contexts. This reserve is expected to be only used for kernel
contexts when barriers must be emitted [almost] without fail.

The main consumer for this reserved request is expected to be engine-pm,
for which we know that there will always be at least the previous pm
request that we can reuse under mempressure (so there should always be
a spare request for engine_park()).

This is an alternative to using a comparatively bulky mempool, which
requires custom handling for both our reserved allocation requirement
and to protect our TYPESAFE_BY_RCU slab cache. The advantage of mempool
would be that it would allow us to keep a larger per-engine request
pool. However, converting over to mempool is straightforward should the
need arise.
