Michał Winiarski found a really evil way to trigger a struct_mutex
deadlock with userptr. He found that if he allocated a userptr bo and
then GTT mmaped another bo, or even itself, at the same address as the
userptr using MAP_FIXED, he could then cause a deadlock any time we then
had to invalidate the GTT mmappings (so at will). Tvrtko then found by
repeatedly allocating GTT mmappings he could alias with an old userptr
mmap and also trigger the deadlock.

To counter act the deadlock, we make the observation that we only need
to take the struct_mutex if the object has any pages to revoke, and that
before userspace can alias with the userptr address space, it must have
invalidated the userptr->pages. Thus if we can check for those pages
outside of the struct_mutex, we can avoid the deadlock. To do so we
introduce a separate flag for userptr objects that we can inspect from
the mmu-notifier underneath its spinlock.

The patch makes one eye-catching change. That is the removal serial=0
after detecting a to-be-freed object inside the invalidate walker. I
felt setting serial=0 was a questionable pessimisation: it denies us the
chance to reuse the current iterator for the next loop (before it is
freed) and being explicit makes the reader question the validity of the
locking (since the object-free race could occur elsewhere). The
serialisation of the iterator is through the spinlock, if the object is
freed before the next loop then the notifier.serial will be incremented
and we start the walk from the beginning as we detect the invalid cache.

To try and tame the error paths and interactions with the userptr->active
flag, we have to do a fair amount of rearranging of get_pages_userptr().

v2: Grammar fixes
v3: Reorder set-active so that it is only set when obj->pages is set
(and so needs cancellation). Only the order of setting obj->pages and
the active-flag is crucial. Calling gup after invalidate-range begin
means the userptr sees the new set of backing storage (and so will not
need to invalidate its new pages), but we have to be careful not to set
the active-flag prior to successfully establishing obj->pages.
v4: Take the active->flag early so we know in the mmu-notifier when we
have to cancel a pending gup-worker.
v5: Rearrange the error path so that is not so convoluted
v6: Set pinned to 0 when negative before calling release_pages()
