For complete symmetry, we should do a
  list_add(&obj->gtt_list, &dev_priv->mm.unbound_list);
but as these bo are irrelevant for the shrinker there are no immediate
consequences. If we wanted to further complicate the code, we could
exclude stolen objects from unbound tracking entirely. Not worth it.

So as it stands, for completeness we should do the list_add here. Hmm,
actually, _i915_gem_object_create_stolen() should do the
list_add(unbound) and we should later do the list_move(bound) after
reserving the GTT space. Ok, ignore all of this and
