Ben Widawsky 23ba4fd0a4 drm/i915: wait render timeout ioctl
This helps implement GL_ARB_sync but stops short of allowing full blown
sync objects. Finally we can use the new timed seqno waiting function
to allow userspace to wait on a buffer object with a timeout. This
implements that interface.

The IOCTL will take as input a buffer object handle, and a timeout in
nanoseconds (flags is currently optional but will likely be used for
permutations of flush operations). Users may specify 0 nanoseconds to
instantly check.

The wait ioctl with a timeout of 0 reimplements the busy ioctl. With any
non-zero timeout parameter the wait ioctl will wait for the given number
of nanoseconds on an object becoming unbusy. Since the wait itself does
so holding struct_mutex the object may become re-busied before this
completes. A similar but shorter race condition exists in the busy
ioctl.

v2: ETIME/ERESTARTSYS instead of changing to EBUSY, and EGAIN (Chris)
Flush the object from the gpu write domain (Chris + Daniel)
Fix leaked refcount in good case (Chris)
Naturally align ioctl struct (Chris)

v3: Drop lock after getting seqno to avoid ugly dance (Chris)

v4: check for 0 timeout after olr check to allow polling (Chris)

v5: Updated the comment. (Chris)

v6: Return -ETIME instead of -EBUSY when timeout_ns is 0 (Daniel)
Fix the commit message comment to be less ugly (Ben)
Add a warning to check the return timespec (Ben)

v7: Use DRM_AUTH for the ioctl. (Eugeni)

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
