drm/i915: Use a radixtree for random access to the object's backing storage
A while ago we switched from a contiguous array of pages into an sglist, for that was both more convenient for mapping to hardware and avoided the requirement for a vmalloc array of pages on every object. However, certain GEM API calls (like pwrite, pread as well as performing relocations) do desire access to individual struct pages. A quick hack was to introduce a cache of the last access such that finding the following page was quick - this works so long as the caller desired sequential access. Walking backwards, or multiple callers, still hits a slow linear search for each page. One solution is to store each successful lookup in a radix tree. v2: Rewrite building the radixtree for clarity, hopefully. v3: Rearrange execbuf to avoid calling i915_gem_object_get_sg() from within an atomic section and so relax the allocation context to a simple GFP_KERNEL and mutex.
