drm/panfrost: Remove commented out call to panfrost_core_dump

panfrost_core_dump() has never existed in mainline, so remove it and add
a TODO entry that core dump support is currently lacking.

drm/panfrost: Implement per FD address spaces

Up until now, a single shared GPU address space was used. This is not
ideal as there's no protection between processes and doesn't work for
supporting the same GPU/CPU VA feature. Most importantly, this will
hopefully mitigate Alyssa's fear of WebGL, whatever that is.

Most of the changes here are moving struct drm_mm and struct
panfrost_mmu objects from the per device struct to the per FD struct.
The critical function is panfrost_mmu_as_get() which handles allocating
and switching the h/w address spaces.

There's 3 states an AS can be in: free, allocated, and in use. When a
job runs, it requests an address space and then marks it not in use when
job is complete(but stays assigned). The first time thru, we find a free
AS in the alloc_mask and assign the AS to the FD. Then the next time
thru, we most likely already have our AS and we just mark it in use with
a ref count. We need a ref count because we have multiple job slots. If
the job/FD doesn't have an AS assigned and there are no free ones, then
we pick an allocated one not in use from our LRU list and switch the AS
from the old FD to the new one.

drm/panfrost: Add support for GPU heap allocations

The midgard/bifrost GPUs need to allocate GPU heap memory which is
allocated on GPU page faults and not pinned in memory. The vendor driver
calls this functionality GROW_ON_GPF.

This implementation assumes that BOs allocated with the
PANFROST_BO_NOEXEC flag are never mmapped or exported. Both of those may
actually work, but I'm unsure if there's some interaction there. It
would cause the whole object to be pinned in memory which would defeat
the point of this.

On faults, we map in 2MB at a time in order to utilize huge pages (if
enabled). Currently, once we've mapped pages in, they are only unmapped
if the BO is freed. Once we add shrinker support, we can unmap pages
with the shrinker.

drm/panfrost: Add madvise and shrinker support

Add support for madvise and a shrinker similar to other drivers. This
allows userspace to mark BOs which can be freed when there is memory
pressure.

Unlike other implementations, we don't depend on struct_mutex. The
driver maintains a list of BOs which can be freed when the shrinker
is called. Access to the list is serialized with the shrinker_lock.

drm/panfrost: Remove completed features still in TODO

There's a few features the driver supports which we forgot to remove, so
remove them now.

- Fix T760 support (Tomeu)
- Add a TODO file (Rob, Tomeu)
- Support multiple in fences (Tomeu)
- Drop support for shared fences (Tomeu)
- Fill in MMU de-init (Rob)
- Move register definitions back to single header (Rob)
- Clean-up hardcoded job submit todos (Rob)
