Using a VMA on more than one timeline concurrently is the exception
rather than the rule (using it concurrently on multiple engines). As we
expect to only use one active tracker, store the most recently used
tracker inside the i915_vma itself and only fallback to the rbtree if
we need a second or more concurrent active trackers.
v2: Comments on how we overwrite any existing last_active cache.

I still don't get this. The cache is exclusive, so when transferring a
record from rbtree to last_active, why do we need to decrement the
vma->active_count here? Don't get the part in the comment about two
retires - do you really sometimes expect two - ie cache is not exclusive?
But the fact that lookup of a cached entry is a straight return, meaning
vma->active_count is manipulated elsewhere, makes me think it is
avoidable messing with it on this path as well.
Maybe the separation of duties between the callers and this function
needs to be stronger.
