Object debugging tools were sporadically reporting illegal attempts to free a still active i915 VMA object from when parking a GPU tile believed to be idle.

Root cause has been identified as premature release of last wakeref for the GPU tile to which the active VMA belonged. In case of single tile platforms, an engine associated with a request that uses the VMA is keeping the tile's wakeref long enough for that VMA to be deactivated on time, before it is going to be freed. However, on multi- tile platforms, a request may use a VMA from a tile other than the one that hosts the request's engine, then, not protected with the engine's wakeref. Get an extra wakeref for the VMA's tile when activating it, and put that wakeref only after the VMA is deactivated. However, exclude GGTT from that processing path, otherwise the GPU never goes idle. Since __i915_vma_retire() may be called from atomic contexts, use async variant of wakeref put.
