drm/i915: make more headers self-contained

The headers in the gem/selftests/, gt/selftests, gvt/, selftests/
directories have never been compile-tested, but it would be possible
to make them self-contained.

This commit only addresses missing <linux/types.h> and forward
struct declarations.

drm/i915/gvt: Provide generic page_track infrastructure for write-protected page

This patch provide generic page_track infrastructure for write-protected
guest page. The old page_track logic gets rewrote and now stays in a new
standalone page_track.c. This page track infrastructure can be both used
by vGUC and GTT shadowing.

The important change is that it uses radix tree instead of hash table.
We don't have a predictable number of pages that will be tracked.

Here is some performance data (duration in us) of looking up a element:
Before: (aka. intel_vgpu_find_tracked_page)
0.091 0.089 0.090 ... 0.093 0.091 0.087 ... 0.292 0.285 0.292 0.291
After: (aka. intel_vgpu_find_page_track)
0.104 0.105 0.100 0.102 0.102 0.100 ... 0.101 0.101 0.105 0.105

The hash table has good performance at beginning, but turns bad with
more pages being tracked even no 3D applications are running. As
expected, radix tree has stable duration and very quick.

The overall benchmark (tested with Heaven Benchmark) marginally improved
since this is not the bottleneck. What we benefit more from this change
is scalability.
