Reduce the 3 relocation paths down to the single path that accommodates all. The primary motivation for this is to guard the relocations with a natural fence (derived from the i915_request used to write the relocation from the GPU). The tradeoff in using async gpu relocations is that it increases latency over using direct CPU relocations, for the cases where the target is idle and accessible by the CPU. The benefit is greatly reduced lock contention and improved concurrency by pipelining. Note that forcing the async gpu relocations does reveal a few issues they have. Firstly, is that they are visible as writes to gem_busy, causing to mark some buffers are being to written to by the GPU even though userspace only reads. Secondly is that, in combination with the cmdparser, they can cause priority inversions. This should be the case where the work is being put into a common workqueue losing our priority information and so being executed in FIFO from the worker, denying us the opportunity to reorder the requests afterwards.

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 Restructured Text 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.
