We need to move to a more flexible timeline that doesn't assume one
fence context per engine, and so allow for a single timeline to be used
across a combination of engines. This means that preallocating a fence
context per engine is now a hindrance, and so we want to introduce the
singular timeline. From the code perspective, this has the notable
advantage of clearing up a lot of mirky semantics and some clumsy
pointer chasing.
By splitting the timeline up into a single entity rather than an array
of per-engine timelines, we can realise the goal of the previous patch
of tracking the timeline alongside the ring.
v2: Tweak wait_for_idle to stop the compiling thinking that ret may be
uninitialised.

Track the latest fence waited upon on each context, and only add a new
asynchronous wait if the new fence is more recent than the recorded
fence for that context. This requires us to filter out unordered
timelines, which are noted by DMA_FENCE_NO_CONTEXT. However, in the
absence of a universal identifier, we have to use our own
i915->mm.unordered_timeline token.
v2: Throw around the debug crutches
v3: Inline the likely case of the pre-allocation cache being full.
v4: Drop the pre-allocation support, we can lose the most recent fence
in case of allocation failure -- it just means we may emit more awaits
than strictly necessary but will not break.
v5: Trim allocation size for leaf nodes, they only need an array of u32
not pointers.
v6: Create mock_timeline to tidy selftest writing
v7: s/intel_timeline_sync_get/intel_timeline_sync_is_later/ (Tvrtko)
v8: Prune the stale sync points when we idle.
v9: Include a small benchmark in the kselftests
v10: Separate the idr implementation into its own compartment. (Tvrkto)
v11: Refactor igt_sync kselftests to avoid deep nesting (Tvrkto)
v12: __sync_leaf_idx() to assert that p->height is 0 when checking leaves
v13: kselftests to investigate struct i915_syncmap itself (Tvrtko)
v14: Foray into ascii art graphs
v15: Take into account that the random lookup/insert does 2 prng calls,
not 1, when benchmarking, and use for_each_set_bit() (Tvrtko)
v16: Improved ascii art
