drm/i915: Move object backing storage manipulation to its own locking



Break the allocation of the backing storage away from struct_mutex into
a per-object lock. This allows parallel page allocation, provided we can
do so outside of struct_mutex (i.e. set-domain-ioctl, pwrite, GTT
fault), i.e. before execbuf! The increased cost of the atomic counters
are hidden behind i915_vma_pin() for the typical case of execbuf, i.e.
as the object is typically bound between execbufs, the page_pin_count is
static. The cost will be felt around set-domain and pwrite, but offset
by the improvement from reduced struct_mutex contention.
