Chris Wilson dc76e5764a drm/i915: Complete both freed-object passes before draining the workqueue
The workqueue code complains viciously if we try to queue more work onto
the queue while attampting to drain it. As we asynchronously free
objects and defer their enqueuing with RCU, it is quite tricky to
quiesce the system before attempting to drain the workqueue. Yet drain
we must to ensure that the worker is idle before unloading the module.

Give the freed object drain 3 whole passes with multiple rcu_barrier()
to give the defer freeing of several levels each protected by RCU and
needing a grace period before its parent can be freed, ultimately
resulting in a GEM object being freed after another RCU period.

A consequence is that it will make module unload even slower.

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.
