This spinlock only served debugging purposes in a time when we could not
be sure of the mutex ever being released upon a GPU hang. As we now
should be able rely on hangcheck to do the job for us (and that error
reporting should not itself require the struct mutex) we can kill the
incomplete attempt at protection.

Based in a large part upon Daniel Vetter's implementation and adapted
for handling multiple rings in a single pass.
This should lead to better gtt usage and fixes the page-fault-of-doom
triggered. The fairness is provided by scanning through the GTT space
amalgamating space in rendering order. As soon as we have a contiguous
space in the GTT large enough for the new object (and its alignment),
evict any object which lies within that space. This should keep more
objects resident in the GTT.
Doing throughput testing on a PineView machine with cairo-perf-trace
indicates that there is very little difference with the new LRU scan,
perhaps a small improvement... Except oddly for the poppler trace.

The eviction code is the gnarly underbelly of memory management, and is
clearer if kept separated from the normal domain management in GEM.
