Michał Winiarski found a really evil way to trigger a struct_mutex
deadlock with userptr. He found that if he allocated a userptr bo and
then GTT mmaped another bo, or even itself, at the same address as the
userptr using MAP_FIXED, he could then cause a deadlock any time we then
had to invalidate the GTT mmappings (so at will).
To counter act the deadlock, we make the observation that when the
MAP_FIXED is made we would have an invalidate_range event for our
object. After that we should no longer alias with the rogue mmapping. If
we are then able to mark the object as no longer in use after the first
invalidate, we do not need to grab the struct_mutex for the subsequent
invalidations.
The patch makes one eye-catching change. That is the removal serial=0
after detecting a to-be-freed object inside the invalidate walker. I
felt setting serial=0 was a questionable pessimisation: it denies us the
chance to reuse the current iterator for the next loop (before it is
freed) and being explicit makes the reader question the validity of the
locking (since the object-free race could occur elsewhere). The
serialisation of the iterator is through the spinlock, if the object is
freed before the next loop then the notifier.serial will be incremented
and we start the walk from the beginning as we detect the invalid cache.

This will set mmu_object to active even if we're exiting early from here
(because of error handling), creating another possibility for deadlock.
I think this deadlock is reproducible without MAP_FIXED, so commit
message should be probably reworded to allow for the more generic case.
I reproduced it like this:
1. mmap, gem_userptr, munmap
2. Create a normal bo.
3. Loop a bit mmapping the above until it hits the same address as userptr.
4. Write to the BO mmap to set fault_mappable.
5. set_tiling on normal bo handle.
I am still thinking about this active flag in the above scenario.
userptr->get_pages hasn't been called above so active == false. If
between steps 4 and 5 we trigger get_pages, userptr transitions to
active and set_tiling deadlocks. Or I still missing something?
