drm/i915: Release i915_gem_context from a worker
The only reason for this really is the i915_gem_engines->fence callback engines_notify(), which exists purely as a fairly funky reference counting scheme for that. Otherwise all other callers are from process context, and generally fairly benign locking context. Unfortunately untangling that requires some major surgery, and we have a few i915_gem_context reference counting bugs that need fixing, and they blow in the current hardirq calling context, so we need a stop-gap measure. Put a FIXME comment in when this should be removable again. v2: Fix mock_context(), noticed by intel-gfx-ci.
