Some i915 selftests still use i915_vma_lock() as inner lock, and
intel_context_create_request() intel_timeline->mutex as outer lock.
Fortunately for selftests this is not an issue, they should be fixed
but we can move ahead and cleanify lockdep now.

Mentions and existence of "dirty hacks" will hopefully be removed from the series before it can be considered merge ready?
