drm/i915: Convert trace-irq to the breadcrumb waiter

If we convert the tracing over from direct use of ring->irq_get() and
over to the breadcrumb infrastructure, we only have a single user of the
ring->irq_get and so we will be able to simplify the driver routines
(eliminating the redundant validation and irq refcounting).

Process context is preferred over softirq (or even hardirq) for a couple
of reasons:

 - we already utilize process context to have fast wakeup of a single
   client (i.e. the client waiting for the GPU inspects the seqno for
   itself following an interrupt to avoid the overhead of a context
   switch before it returns to userspace)

 - engine->irq_seqno() is not suitable for use from an softirq/hardirq
   context as we may require long waits (100-250us) to ensure the seqno
   write is posted before we read it from the CPU

A signaling framework is a requirement for enabling dma-fences.

v2: Move to a signaling framework based upon the waiter.
v3: Track the first-signal to avoid having to walk the rbtree everytime.
v4: Mark the signaler thread as RT priority to reduce latency in the
indirect wakeups.
v5: Make failure to allocate the thread fatal.
v6: Rename kthreads to i915/signal:%u
