drm/i915: Allow kswapd to pause the device whilst reaping
In commit 5763ff04 ("drm/i915: Avoid GPU stalls from kswapd") we stopped direct reclaim and kswapd from triggering GPU/client stalls whilst running (by restricting the objects they could reap to be idle). However with abusive GPU usage, it becomes quite easy to starve kswapd of memory and prevent it from making forward progress towards obtaining enough free memory (thus driving the system closer to swap exhaustion). Relax the previous restriction to allow kswapd (but not direct reclaim) to stall the device whilst reaping purgeable pages. v2: Also acquire the rpm wakelock to allow kswapd to unbind buffers.
