I was asked to review of this patch. It works along with expected
IGT check https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/423361/?series=82954&rev=25

Before I'll give you r-b - isn't i915_gem_execbuffer2_ioctl() better place
to do for loop just after copy_from_user() and check relocation_count?
We have an access to exec2_list there, we know the gen so we're able to say
relocations are not supported immediate, without entering i915_gem_do_execbuffer().
