drm/i915: Split the ringbuffers from the rings (1/3)
As advanced by the previous patch, the ringbuffers and the engine command streamers belong in different structs. This is so because, while they used to be tightly coupled together, the new Logical Ring Contexts (LRC for short) have a ringbuffer each. In legacy code, we will use the buffer* pointer inside each ring to get to the pertaining ringbuffer (the actual switch will be done in the next patch). In the new Execlists code, this pointer will be NULL and we will use instead the one inside the context instead.
