Add a per-engine request mempool so that we should always have a couple
of requests available for powermanagement allocations from tricky
contexts. These reserves are expected to be only used for kernel
contexts when barriers must be emitted [almost] without fail.
When using the mempool, requests are first allocated from the global
slab cache (utilising all the per-cpu lockless freelists and caches) and
only if that is empty and cannot be filled under the gfp_t do we
fallback to using the per-engine cache of recently freed requests. For
our use cases, this will never be empty for long as there will always be
at least the previous powermanagent request to reuse.
The downside is that this is quite a bulky addition and abstraction to
use, but it will ensure that we never fail to park the engine due to
oom.
v2: Only use the mempool for nonblocking allocations which are not
expected to fail.
