drm/lima: remove guilty drm_sched context handling

Marking the context as guilty currently only makes the application which
hits a single timeout problem to stop its rendering context entirely.
All jobs submitted later are dropped from the guilty context.

Lima runs on fairly underpowered hardware for modern standards and it is
not entirely unreasonable that a rendering job may time out occasionally
due to high system load or too demanding application stack. In this case
it would be generally preferred to report the error but try to keep the
application going.

Other similar embedded GPU drivers don't make use of the guilty context
flag. Now that there are reliability improvements to the lima timeout
recovery handling, drop the guilty contexts to let the application keep
running in this case.

sched.h: move pid helpers to pid.h

This is needed for killing the sched.h dependency on rcupdate.h, and
pid.h is a better place for this code anyways.

Revert "drm/lima: add usage counting method to ctx_mgr"

This reverts commit bccafec957a5c4b22ac29e53a39e82d0a0008348.

This is due to the depend commit has been reverted on upstream:
commit baad10973fdb ("Revert "drm/scheduler: track GPU active time per entity"")

drm/lima: add usage counting method to ctx_mgr

lima maintains a context manager per drm_file, similar to amdgpu.
In order to account for the complete usage per drm_file, all of the
associated contexts need to be considered.
Previously released contexts also need to be accounted for but their
drm_sched_entity info is gone once they get released, so account for it
in the ctx_mgr.

drm/lima: driver for ARM Mali4xx GPUs

- Mali 4xx GPUs have two kinds of processors GP and PP. GP is for
OpenGL vertex shader processing and PP is for fragment shader
processing. Each processor has its own MMU so prcessors work in
virtual address space.
- There's only one GP but multiple PP (max 4 for mali 400 and 8
for mali 450) in the same mali 4xx GPU. All PPs are grouped
togather to handle a single fragment shader task divided by
FB output tiled pixels. Mali 400 user space driver is
responsible for assign target tiled pixels to each PP, but mali
450 has a HW module called DLBU to dynamically balance each
PP's load.
- User space driver allocate buffer object and map into GPU
virtual address space, upload command stream and draw data with
CPU mmap of the buffer object, then submit task to GP/PP with
a register frame indicating where is the command stream and misc
settings.
- There's no command stream validation/relocation due to each user
process has its own GPU virtual address space. GP/PP's MMU switch
virtual address space before running two tasks from different
user process. Error or evil user space code just get MMU fault
or GP/PP error IRQ, then the HW/SW will be recovered.
- Use GEM+shmem for MM. Currently just alloc and pin memory when
gem object creation. GPU vm map of the buffer is also done in
the alloc stage in kernel space. We may delay the memory
allocation and real GPU vm map to command submission stage in the
furture as improvement.
- Use drm_sched for GPU task schedule. Each OpenGL context should
have a lima context object in the kernel to distinguish tasks
from different user. drm_sched gets task from each lima context
in a fair way.
