drm/i915: Split i915_gem_timeline into individual timelines
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.
