Since we allow removing the timeline map at runtime, there is a risk
that rq->hwsp points into a stale page. To control that risk, we hold
the RCU read lock while reading *rq->hwsp, but we missed a couple of
important barriers. First, the unpinning / removal of the timeline map
must be after all RCU readers into that map are complete, i.e. after an
rcu barrier (in this case courtesy of call_rcu()). Secondly, we must
make sure that the rq->hwsp we are about to dereference under the RCU
lock is valid. In this case, we make the rq->hwsp pointer safe during
i915_request_retire() and so we know that rq->hwsp may become invalid
only after the request has been signaled. Therefore is the request is
not yet signaled when we acquire rq->hwsp under the RCU, we know that
rq->hwsp will remain valid for the duration of the RCU read lock.

This is a very small window that may lead to either considering the
request not completed (causing a delay until the request is checked
again, any wait for the request is not affected) or dereferencing an
invalid pointer.
