drm/i915/ttm: add tt shmem backend



For cached objects we can allocate our pages directly in shmem. This
should make it possible(in a later patch) to utilise the existing
i915-gem shrinker code for such objects. For now this is still disabled.

v2(Thomas):
  - Add optional try_to_writeback hook for objects. Importantly we need
    to check if the object is even still shrinkable; in between us
    dropping the shrinker LRU lock and acquiring the object lock it could for
    example have been moved. Also we need to differentiate between
    "lazy" shrinking and the immediate writeback mode. Also later we need to
    handle objects which don't even have mm.pages, so bundling this into
    put_pages() would require somehow handling that edge case, hence
    just letting the ttm backend handle everything in try_to_writeback
    doesn't seem too bad.
v3(Thomas):
  - Likely a bad idea to touch the object from the unpopulate hook,
    since it's not possible to hold a reference, without also creating
    circular dependency, so likely this is too fragile. For now just
    ensure we at least mark the pages as dirty/accessed when called from the
    shrinker on WILLNEED objects.
  - s/try_to_writeback/shrinker_release_pages, since this can do more
    than just writeback.
  - Get rid of do_backup boolean and just set the SWAPPED flag prior to
    calling unpopulate.
  - Keep shmem_tt as lowest priority for the TTM LRU bo_swapout walk, since
    these just get skipped anyway. We can try to come up with something
    better later.
v4(Thomas):
  - s/PCI_DMA/DMA/. Also drop NO_KERNEL_MAPPING and NO_WARN, which
    apparently doesn't do anything with streaming mappings.
  - Just pass along the error for ->truncate, and assume nothing.
