drm/i915/userptr: Avoid struct_mutex recursion for mmu_invalidate_range_start

Since commit 93065ac7 ("mm, oom: distinguish blockable mode for mmu
notifiers") we have been able to report failure from
mmu_invalidate_range_start which allows us to use a trylock on the
struct_mutex to avoid potential recursion and report -EBUSY instead.
Furthermore, this allows us to pull the work into the main callback and
avoid the sleight-of-hand in using a workqueue to avoid lockdep.

However, not all paths to mmu_invalidate_range_start are prepared to
handle failure, so instead of reporting the recursion, deal with it by
propagating the failure upwards, who can decide themselves to handle it
or report it.

v2: Mark up the recursive lock behaviour and comment on the various weak
points.

v3: Follow commit 3824e419 ("drm/i915: Use mutex_lock_killable() from
inside the shrinker") and also use mutex_lock_killable().
v3.1: No leak on EINTR.
