drm/i915: simplify allocation of driver-internal requests
There are a number of places where the driver needs a request, but isn't
working on behalf of any specific user or in a specific context. At
present, we associate them with the per-engine default context. A future
patch will abolish those per-engine context pointers; but we can already
eliminate a lot of the references to them, just by making the allocator
allow NULL as a shorthand for "an appropriate context for this ring",
which will mean that the callers don't need to know anything about how
the "appropriate context" is found (e.g. per-ring vs per-device, etc).
So this patch renames the existing i915_gem_request_alloc(), and makes
it local (static inline), and replaces it with a wrapper that provides
a default if the context is NULL, and also has a nicer calling
convention (doesn't require a pointer to an output parameter). Then we
change all callers to use the new convention:
OLD:
err = i915_gem_request_alloc(ring, user_ctx, &req);
if (err) ...
NEW:
req = i915_gem_request_alloc(ring, user_ctx);
if (IS_ERR(req)) ...
OLD:
err = i915_gem_request_alloc(ring, ring->default_context, &req);
if (err) ...
NEW:
req = i915_gem_request_alloc(ring, NULL);
if (IS_ERR(req)) ...
