> 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
> the request is freed.
