Timeline barrier allows serialization between different timelines.

After calling i915_timeline_set_barrier with a request, all following
submissions on this timeline will be set up as depending on this request,
or barrier. Once the barrier has been completed it automatically gets
cleared and things continue as normal.

This facility will be used by the upcoming context SSEU code.
