Lyude Paul 7e56e90b98 drm/nouveau/gsp: Allocate fwsec-sb at boot 
commit da67179e55 upstream.

At the moment - the memory allocation for fwsec-sb is created as-needed and
is released after being used. Typically this is at some point well after
driver load, which can cause runtime suspend/resume to initially work on
driver load but then later fail on a machine that has been running for long
enough with sufficiently high enough memory pressure:

The reason this happens is because the fwsec-sb firmware image only
supports being booted from a contiguous coherent sysmem allocation. If a
system runs into enough memory fragmentation from memory pressure, such as
what can happen on systems with low amounts of memory, this can lead to a
situation where it later becomes impossible to find space for a large
enough contiguous allocation to hold fwsec-sb. This causes us to fail to
boot the firmware image, causing the GPU to fail booting and causing the
driver to fail.

Since this firmware can't use non-contiguous allocations, the best solution
to avoid this issue is to simply allocate the memory for fwsec-sb during
initial driver-load, and reuse the memory allocation when fwsec-sb needs to
be used. We then release the memory allocations on driver unload.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
