drm/i915/gem: Atomically invalidate userptr on mmu-notifier
Never block for outstanding work on userptr object upon receipt of a mmu-notifier. The reason we originally did so was to immediately unbind the userptr and unpin its pages, but since that has been dropped in commit b4b9731b ("drm/i915: Simplify userptr locking"), we never return the pages to the system i.e. never drop our page->mapcount and so do not allow the page and CPU PTE to be revoked. Based on this history, we know we are safe to drop the wait entirely. Upon return from mmu-notifier, we will still have the userptr pages pinned preventing the following PTE operation (such as try_to_unmap) adjusting the vm_area_struct, so it is safe to keep the pages around for as long as we still have i/o pending. We do not have any means currently to asynchronously revalidate the userptr pages, that is always prior to next use.
