drm/i915: Introduce refcounted sg-tables

As we start to introduce asynchronous failsafe object migration,
where we update the object state and then submit asynchronous
commands we need to record what memory resources are actually used
by various part of the command stream. Initially for three purposes:

1) Error capture.
2) Asynchronous migration error recovery.
3) Asynchronous vma bind.

At the time where these happens, the object state may have been updated
to be several migrations ahead and object sg-tables discarded.

In order to make it possible to keep sg-tables with memory resource
information for these operations, introduce refcounted sg-tables that
aren't freed until the last user is done with them.

The alternative would be to reference information sitting on the
corresponding ttm_resources which typically have the same lifetime as
these refcountes sg_tables, but that leads to other awkward constructs:
Due to the design direction chosen for ttm resource managers that would
lead to diamond-style inheritance, the LMEM resources may sometimes be
prematurely freed, and finally the subclassed struct ttm_resource would
have to bleed into the asynchronous vma bind code.

v3:
- Address a number of style issues (Matthew Auld)
v4:
- Dont check for st->sgl being NULL in i915_ttm_tt__shmem_unpopulate(),
  that should never happen. (Matthew Auld)
v5:
- Fix a Potential double-free (Matthew Auld)
