Currently, we try to report to the shrinker the precise number of
objects (pages) that are available to be reaped at this moment. This
requires searching all objects with allocated pages to see if they
fulfill the search criteria, and this count is performed quite
frequently. (The shrinker tries to free ~128 pages on each invocation,
before which we count all the objects; counting takes longer than
unbinding the objects!) If we take the pragmatic view that with
sufficient desire, all objects are eventually reapable (they become
inactive, or no longer used as framebuffer etc), we can simply return
the count of pinned pages maintained during get_pages/put_pages rather
than walk the lists every time.
The downside is that we may (slightly) over-report the number of
objects/pages we could shrink and so penalize ourselves by shrinking
more than required. This is mitigated by keeping the order in which we
shrink objects such that we avoid penalizing active and frequently used
objects, and if memory is so tight that we need to free them we would
need to anyway.
v2: Only expose shrinkable objects to the shrinker; a small reduction in
not considering stolen and foreign objects.
v3: Restore the tracking from a "backup" copy from before the gem/ split

Currently the purgeable objects, I915_MADV_DONTNEED, are mixed in the
normal bound/unbound lists. Every shrinker pass starts with an attempt
to purge from this set of unneeded objects, which entails us doing a
walk over both lists looking for any candidates. If there are none, and
since we are shrinking we can reasonably assume that the lists are
full!, this becomes a very slow futile walk.
If we separate out the purgeable objects into own list, this search then
becomes its own phase that is preferentially handled during shrinking.
Instead the cost becomes that we then need to filter the purgeable list
if we want to distinguish between bound and unbound objects.

The plan is to use the blitter engine for async object clearing when
using local memory, but before we can move the worker to get_pages() we
have to first tame some more of our struct_mutex usage. With this in
mind we should be able to upstream the object clearing as some
selftests, which should serve as a guinea pig for the ongoing locking
rework and upcoming async get_pages() framework.

An old optimisation to reduce the number of atomics per batch sadly
relies on struct_mutex for coordination. In order to remove struct_mutex
from serialising object/context closing, always taking and releasing an
active reference on first use / last use greatly simplifies the locking.

Use the per-object local lock to control the cache domain of the
individual GEM objects, not struct_mutex. This is a huge leap forward
for us in terms of object-level synchronisation; execbuffers are
coordinated using the ww_mutex and pread/pwrite is finally fully
serialised again.
