drm/i915: Avoid using rq->engine after free during i915_fence_release

In order to be valid to dereference during the i915_fence_release, after
retiring the fence and releasing its refererences, we assume that
rq->engine can only be a real engine (that stay intact until the device
is shutdown after all fences have been flushed). However, due to a quirk
of preempt-to-busy, we may retire a request that still belongs to a
virtual engine and so eventually free it with rq->engine being invalid.
To avoid dereferencing that invalid engine, we look at the
execution_mask which if it indicates it may be executed on more than one
engine, we know it originated on a virtual engine and may still be on
one.

* We do not hold a reference to the engine here and so have to be
* very careful in what rq->engine we poke. The virtual engine is
* referenced via the rq->context and we released that ref during
* i915_request_retire(), ergo we must not dereference a virtual
* engine here. Not that we would want to, as the only consumer of
* the reserved engine->request_pool is the power management parking,
* which must-not-fail, and that is only run on the physical engines.
*
* Since the request must have been executed to be have completed,
* we know that it will have been processed by the HW and will
* not be unsubmitted again, so rq->engine and rq->execution_mask
* at this point is stable. rq->execution_mask will be a single
* bit if the last and _only_ engine it could execution on was a
* physical engine, if it's multiple bits then it started on and
* could still be on a virtual engine. Thus if the mask is not a
* power-of-two we assume that rq->engine may still be a virtual
* engine and so a dangling invalid pointer that we cannot dereference
*
* For example, consider the flow of a bonded request through a virtual
* engine. The request is created with a wide engine mask (all engines
* that we might execute on). On processing the bond, the request mask
* is reduced to one or more engines. If the request is subsequently
* bound to a single engine, it will then be constrained to only
* execute on that engine and never returned to the virtual engine
* after timeslicing away, see __unwind_incomplete_requests(). Thus we
* know that if the rq->execution_mask is a single bit, rq->engine
* can be a physical engine with the exact corresponding mask.
