drm/i915: Trim struct_mutex hold duration for i915_gem_free_objects
We free objects in bulk after they wait for their RCU grace period. Currently, we take struct_mutex and unbind all the objects. This can lead to a long lock duration during which time those objects have their pages unfreeable (i.e. the shrinker is prevented from reaping those pages). If we only process a single object under the struct_mutex and then free the pages, the number of objects locked away from the shrinker is minimal and we allow regular clients better access to struct_mutex if they need it.
