When converting from implicitly tracked execlist queue items to ref counted
requests, not all frees of requests were replaced with unrefs, and extraneous
refs/unrefs of contexts were added.
Correct the unbalanced refcount & replace the frees.
Remove a noisy warning when hitting the request creation path.
drm_i915_gem_request and intel_context are both kref reference counted
structures. Upon allocation, drm_i915_gem_request's ref count should be
bumped using kref_init. When a context is assigned to the request,
the context's reference count should be bumped using i915_gem_context_reference.
i915_gem_request_reference will reduce the context reference count when
s/i915_gem_request_reference/i915_gem_request_free/ ?
I meant i915_gem_request_unreference, but should probably mention that
i915_gem_request_free is called when the request reference count reaches
zero, and it is that function which drops the context reference count.
the request is freed.

drm/i915: Subsume intel_ctx_submit_request in to drm_i915_gem_request
v2: Added comments explaining how the ctx pointer and the request object should
be ref-counted. Removed noisy warning.

Or maybe replace the comment with this version, if you think it's nicer:
Context related to this request
Contexts are refcounted, so when this request is associated with a
context, we must increment the context's refcount, to guarantee that it
persists while any request is linked to it. Requests themselves are also
refcounted, so the request will only be freed when the last reference to
it is dismissed, and the code in i915_gem_request_free() will then
decrement the refcount on the context.
That's a lot more understandable than my version :)
