Jason Ekstrand 93b7133041 drm/i915: Revert "drm/i915/gem: Asynchronous cmdparser" 
This reverts 686c7c35ab ("drm/i915/gem: Asynchronous cmdparser").  The
justification for this commit in the git history was a vague comment
about getting it out from under the struct_mutex.  While this may
improve perf for some workloads on Gen7 platforms where we rely on the
command parser for features such as indirect rendering, no numbers were
provided to prove such an improvement.  It claims to closed two
gitlab/bugzilla issues but with no explanation whatsoever as to why or
what bug it's fixing.

Meanwhile, by moving command parsing off to an async callback, it leaves
us with a problem of what to do on error.  When things were synchronous,
EXECBUFFER2 would fail with an error code if parsing failed.  When
moving it to async, we needed another way to handle that error and the
solution employed was to set an error on the dma_fence and then trust
that said error gets propagated to the client eventually.  Moving back
to synchronous will help us untangle the fence error propagation mess.

This also reverts most of 0edbb9ba1b ("drm/i915: Move cmd parser
pinning to execbuffer") which is a refactor of some of our allocation
paths for asynchronous parsing.  Now that everything is synchronous, we
don't need it.

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.
