drm/i915: Manually unwind after a failed request allocation
In the next patches, we want to move the work out of freeing the request and into its retirement (so that we can free the request without requiring the struct_mutex). This means that we cannot rely on unreferencing the request to completely teardown the request any more and so we need to manually unwind the failed allocation. In doing so, we reorder the allocation in order to make the unwind simple (and ensure that we don't try to unwind a partial request that may have modified global state) and so we end up pushing the initial preallocation down into the engine request initialisation functions where we have the requisite control over the state of the request. Moving the initial preallocation into the engine is less than ideal: it moves logic to handle a specific problem with request handling out of the common code. On the other hand, it does allow those backends significantly more flexibility in performing its allocations.
