drm/i915: Pin the ifbdev for the info->system_base GGTT mmapping
A long time ago (before 3.14) we relied on a permanent pinning of the ifbdev to lock the fb in place inside the GGTT. However, the introduction of stealing the BIOS framebuffer and reusing its address in the GGTT for the fbdev has muddied waters and we use an inherited fb. However, the inherited fb is only pinned whilst it is active and we no longer have an explicit pin for the info->system_base mmapping used by the fbdev. The result is that after some aperture pressure the fbdev may be evicted, but we continue to write the fbcon into the same GGTT address - overwriting anything else that may be put into that offset. The effect is most pronounced across suspend/resume as intel_fbdev_set_suspend() does a full clear over the whole scanout. v2: Only unpin the intel_fb is we allocate it. If we inherit the fb from the BIOS, we do not own the pinned vma (except for the reference we add in this patch for our access via info->screen_base). v3: Finish balancing the vma pinning for the normal !preallocated case. v4: Try to simplify the pinning even further. v5: Leak the VMA (cleaned up by object-free) to avoid complicated error paths.
