, does not clobber the active tracking.

unpin is to trigger the idle-barrier. The pin is just the start of the
next phase with another context. At first I tried doing two remote
requests within on pin-phase, but that doesn't hit the bug. It needed
the idle barrier in the middle of the test, not between passes.

v2 wrapped it with another subroutine so the unpin-pin is not so
glaringly obvious.

The kernel_context is most important since that's the one used by the
idle barrier. I included the normal context as well for completeness as
the intel_context_prepare_remote_request() interface should not assume
it is working from the kernel context.

Yes, there can be more than one (virtual engines). It should be the case
that when i915_active becomes idle (all idle barriers are idle) that the
tree is reaped. But... if we overlap active phases, we will get multiple
idle barriers, some idle, some active, which we want to reuse to avoid
having a potentially unbounded allocation.
