drm/i915: Add soft-pinning API for execbuffer

Userspace can pass in an offset that it presumes the object is located
at. The kernel will then do its utmost to fit the object into that
location. The assumption is that userspace is handling its own object
locations (for example along with full-ppgtt) and that the kernel will
rarely have to make space for the user's requests.

v2: Fixed incorrect eviction found by Michal Winiarski - fix suggested by Chris
Wilson.  Fixed incorrect error paths causing crash found by Michal Winiarski.
(Not published externally)

v3: Rebased because of trivial conflict in object_bind_to_vm.  Fixed eviction
to allow eviction of soft-pinned objects when another soft-pinned object used
by a subsequent execbuffer overlaps reported by Michal Winiarski.
(Not published externally)

v4: Moved soft-pinned objects to the front of ordered_vmas so that they are
pinned first after an address conflict happens to avoid repeated conflicts in
rare cases (Suggested by Chris Wilson).  Expanded comment on
drm_i915_gem_exec_object2.offset to cover this new API.

v5: Added I915_PARAM_HAS_EXEC_SOFTPIN parameter for detecting this capability
(Kristian). Added check for multiple pinnings on eviction (Akash). Made sure
buffers are not considered misplaced without the user specifying
EXEC_OBJECT_SUPPORTS_48B_ADDRESS.  User must assume responsibility for any
addressing workarounds.  Updated object2.offset field comment again to clarify
NO_RELOC case (Chris).  checkpatch cleanup.

v6: Trivial rebase on latest drm-intel-nightly

v7: Catch attempts to pin above the max virtual address size and return
EINVAL (Tvrtko). Decouple EXEC_OBJECT_SUPPORTS_48B_ADDRESS and
EXEC_OBJECT_PINNED flags, user must pass both flags in any attempt to pin
something at an offset above 4GB (Chris, Daniel Vetter).
