This is a precautionary measure as I have no evidence to suggest we've
hit a bug here (I was hoping this might explain gdg's odd behaviour, but
alas), but given that we have a function to flush the ggtt writes it
seems prudent to use it prior to changing the fence register. Due to the
intrinsic nature of the GTT often operating as an independent mmio path,
we should not just rely on the write to the fence acting as a full flush
for GTT writes.

In the past, vGPU alloc fence registers by walking through mm.fence_list
to find fence which pin_count = 0 and vma is empty. vGPU may not find
enough fence registers this way. Because a fence can be bind to vma even
though it is not in using. We have found such failure many times these
days.
An option to resolve this issue is that we can force-remove fence from
vma in this case.
This patch added two new api to the fence management code:
- i915_reserve_fence() will try to find a free fence from fence_list
and force-remove vma if need.
- i915_unreserve_fence() reclaim a reserved fence after vGPU has
finished.
With this change, the fence management is more clear to work with vGPU.
GVTg do not need remove fence from fence_list in private.
v3: (Chris)
- Add struct_mutex lock assertion.
- Only count for unpinned fence.
v2: (Chris)
- Rename the new api for symmetry.
- Add safeguard to ensure at least 1 fence remained for host display.

Start converting over from the byte count to its semantic macro, either
we want to allocate the size of a physical page in main memory or we
want the size of a virtual page in the GTT. 4096 could mean either, but
PAGE_SIZE and I915_GTT_PAGE_SIZE are explicit and should help improve
code comprehension and future changes. In the future, we may want to use
variable GTT page sizes and so have the challenge of knowing which
hardcoded values were used to represent a physical page vs the virtual
page.
v2: Look for a few more 4096s to convert, discover IS_ALIGNED().
v3: 4096ul paranoia, make fence alignment a distinct value of 4096, keep
bdw stolen w/a as 4096 until we know better.
v4: Add asserts that i915_vma_insert() start/end are aligned to GTT page
sizes.

The fence size/alignment is a combination of the vma size plus object
tiling parameters. Those parameters are rarely changed, making the fence
size/alignemnt roughly constant for the lifetime of the VMA. We can
simplify subsequent calculations by precalculating the size/alignment
required for GGTT vma taking fencing into account (with an update if we
do change the tiling or stride).

The fence registers are clobbered by a GPU reset. If there is concurrent
user access to a fenced region via a GTT mmaping, the access will not be
fenced during the reset (until we restore the fences afterwards). In order
to prevent invalid access during the reset, before we clobber the fences
first we must invalidate the GTT mmapings. Access to the mmap will then
be forced to fault in the page, and in handling the fault, i915_gem_fault()
will take the struct_mutex and wait upon the reset to complete.
v2: Fix up commentary.
