Currently, we construct and teardown the i915_dependency chains using a
global spinlock. As the lists are entirely local, it should be possible
to use an double-lock with an explicit nesting [signaler -> waiter,
always] and so avoid the costly convenience of a global spinlock.

So we have to be sure another entry point cannot try to lock the same
nodes in reverse, that is with reversed roles. Situation where nodes are
simultaneously both each other waiters and signalers does indeed sound
impossible so I think this is fine.
Only if some entry point would lock something which is a waiter, and
then went to boost the priority of a signaler. That is still one with a
global lock. So the benefit of this patch is just to reduce contention
between adding and re-scheduling?
And __i915_schedule does walk the list of signalers without holding this
new lock. What is the safety net there? RCU? Do we need
list_for_each_entry_rcu and explicit rcu_read_(un)lock in there then?
