drm/xe/eudebug: Add ufence events with acks
This commit adds DRM_XE_EUDEBUG_EVENT_VM_BIND_UFENCE events and the
DRM_XE_EUDEBUG_IOCTL_ACK_EVENT ioctl so that a debugger can stall user
fence signalling on a VM bind with debug data until the event is
acknowledged.

[Severity: Medium]
Can xe_eudebug_ufence_track() lock a destroyed d->xe->eudebug.lock in
xe_eudebug_detach()?
As noted above kick_ufence_worker(), user_fence_worker() runs on
xe->ordered_wq, which xe_device_destroy() drains only after the drmm
actions registered in xe_device_probe() have already run. One of those
actions is xe_eudebug_lock_fini(), which destroys xe->eudebug.lock:
drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_eudebug.c:xe_eudebug_lock_fini() {
mutex_destroy(&to_xe_device(dev)->eudebug.lock);
}
A user fence holds a reference to struct xe_eudebug in
ufence->eudebug.debugger, but not a drm_device reference:
CPU0 (user_fence_worker) CPU1
xe_eudebug_ufence_track()
xe_eudebug_is_detached(d)
-> false
xe_eudebug_release()
xe_eudebug_disconnect(d, 0)
drm_dev_put(&d->xe->drm)
...
xe_eudebug_lock_fini()
mutex_destroy(&xe->eudebug.lock)
xe_device_destroy()
destroy_workqueue(xe->ordered_wq)
track_ufence()
xe_eudebug_queue_event()
-> -ENOTCONN
xe_eudebug_disconnect(d, ret)
xe_eudebug_detach()
mutex_lock(&d->xe->eudebug.lock) <-- destroyed mutex
With lock debugging enabled, mutex_lock() warns on the destroyed mutex.
If track_ufence() checked __xe_eudebug_is_detached(d) under d->lock
before inserting ack into d->acks.tree, a racing detach would not need a
second xe_eudebug_disconnect() call.

[Severity: Low]
Can xe_eudebug_ack_event_ioctl() return -EINVAL instead of -ENOTCONN when
racing with xe_eudebug_detach()?
xe_eudebug_is_detached() and remove_ack() take d->lock in separate
critical sections. If xe_eudebug_detach() runs in between, it clears
d->target.xef and empties d->acks.tree under d->lock, so remove_ack()
finds nothing and the ioctl returns -EINVAL for a valid seqno instead of
the documented -ENOTCONN. Checking __xe_eudebug_is_detached(d) inside
remove_ack() under d->lock would avoid the race.
