Capture the eviction details for Flat-CCS capable, lmem objects.

v2:
  Fix the Flat-ccs capbility of lmem obj with smem residency

* And CCS data can be copied in and out of CCS region through
* XY_CTRL_SURF_COPY_BLT. CPU can't access the CCS data directly.
*
* When we exhaust the lmem, if the object's placements support smem, then we can
* directly decompress the compressed lmem object into smem and start using it
* from smem itself.
* I915 supports Flat-CCS on lmem only objects. When an objects has smem in
* its preference list, on memory pressure, i915 needs to migrate the lmem
* content into smem. If the lmem object is Flat-CCS compressed by userspace,
* then i915 needs to decompress it. But I915 lack the required information
* for such decompression. Hence I915 supports Flat-CCS only on lmem only objects.
*
* But when we need to swapout the compressed lmem object into a smem region
* though objects' placement doesn't support smem, then we copy the lmem content
* as it is into smem region along with ccs data (using XY_CTRL_SURF_COPY_BLT).
* When the object is referred, lmem content will be swaped in along with
* restoration of the CCS data (using XY_CTRL_SURF_COPY_BLT) at corresponding
* location.
* When we exhaust the lmem, Flat-CCS capable objects' lmem backing memory can
* be temporarily evicted to smem, along with the auxiliary CCS state, where
* it can be potentially swapped-out at a later point, if required.
* If userspace later touches the evicted pages, then we always move
* the backing memory back to lmem, which includes restoring the saved CCS state,
* and potentially performing any required swap-in.
*
* For the migration of the lmem objects with smem in placement list, such as
* {lmem, smem}, objects are treated as non Flat-CCS capable objects.
