drm/i915: wait render timeout ioctl

This helps implement GL_ARB_sync but stops short of allowing full blown
sync objects. Finally we can use the new timed seqno waiting function
to allow userspace to wait on a buffer object with a timeout. This
implements that interface.

The IOCTL will take as input a buffer object handle, and a timeout in
nanoseconds (flags is currently optional but will likely be used for
permutations of flush operations). Users may specify 0 nanoseconds to
instantly check.

The wait ioctl with a timeout of 0 reimplements the busy ioctl. With any
non-zero timeout parameter the wait ioctl will wait for the given number
of nanoseconds on an object becoming unbusy. Since the wait itself does
so holding struct_mutex the object may become re-busied before this
completes. A similar but shorter race condition exists in the busy
ioctl.

v2: ETIME/ERESTARTSYS instead of changing to EBUSY, and EGAIN (Chris)
Flush the object from the gpu write domain (Chris + Daniel)
Fix leaked refcount in good case (Chris)
Naturally align ioctl struct (Chris)

v3: Drop lock after getting seqno to avoid ugly dance (Chris)

v4: check for 0 timeout after olr check to allow polling (Chris)

v5: Updated the comment. (Chris)

v6: Return -ETIME instead of -EBUSY when timeout_ns is 0 (Daniel)
Fix the commit message comment to be less ugly (Ben)
Add a warning to check the return timespec (Ben)

v7: Use DRM_AUTH for the ioctl. (Eugeni)
