Danilo Krummrich b88baab828 drm/nouveau: implement new VM_BIND uAPI
This commit provides the implementation for the new uapi motivated by the
Vulkan API. It allows user mode drivers (UMDs) to:

1) Initialize a GPU virtual address (VA) space via the new
   DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_VM_INIT ioctl for UMDs to specify the portion of VA
   space managed by the kernel and userspace, respectively.

2) Allocate and free a VA space region as well as bind and unbind memory
   to the GPUs VA space via the new DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_VM_BIND ioctl.
   UMDs can request the named operations to be processed either
   synchronously or asynchronously. It supports DRM syncobjs
   (incl. timelines) as synchronization mechanism. The management of the
   GPU VA mappings is implemented with the DRM GPU VA manager.

3) Execute push buffers with the new DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_EXEC ioctl. The
   execution happens asynchronously. It supports DRM syncobj (incl.
   timelines) as synchronization mechanism. DRM GEM object locking is
   handled with drm_exec.

Both, DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_VM_BIND and DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_EXEC, use the DRM
GPU scheduler for the asynchronous paths.
