    drm/i915: Shrink the GEM kmem_caches upon idling

mm/vmscan.c:do_shrink_slab() is a thing, if there's an issue with it
then we need to fix that there, not hand-roll our own slab shrinking
code in i915.

Also when this was added there was only one other caller of
kmem_cache_shrink (added 2005 to the acpi code). Now there's a 2nd one
outside of i915 code in a kunit test, which seems legit since that
wants to very carefully control what's in the kmem_cache. This out of
a total of over 500 calls to kmem_cache_create. This alone should have
been warning sign enough that we're doing something silly.

Noticed while reviewing a patch set from Jason to fix up some issues
in our i915_init() and i915_exit() module load/cleanup code. Now that
i915_globals.c isn't any different than normal init/exit functions, we
should convert them over to one unified table and remove
i915_globals.[hc] entirely.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
