drm/i915: Prevent recursive deadlock on releasing a busy userptr



During release of the GEM object we hold the struct_mutex. As the
object may be holding onto the last reference for the task->mm,
calling mmput() may trigger exit_mmap() which close the vma
which will call drm_gem_vm_close() and attempt to reacquire
the struct_mutex. In order to avoid that recursion, we have
to defer the mmput() until after we drop the struct_mutex,
i.e. we need to schedule a worker to do the clean up. A further issue
spotted by Tvrtko was caused when we took a GTT mmapping of a userptr
buffer object. In that case, we would never call mmput as the object
would be cyclically referenced by the GTT mmapping and not freed upon
process exit - keeping the entire process mm alive after the process
task was reaped. The fix employed is to replace the mm_users/mmput()
reference handling to mm_count/mmdrop() for the shared i915_mm_struct.

v2: Incorporate feedback from Tvrtko and remove the unnessary mm
referencing when creating the i915_mm_struct and improve some of the
function names and comments.
