drm/sched: Convert drm scheduler to use a work queue rather than kthread

In Xe, the new Intel GPU driver, a choice has made to have a 1 to 1
mapping between a drm_gpu_scheduler and drm_sched_entity. At first this
seems a bit odd but let us explain the reasoning below.

1. In Xe the submission order from multiple drm_sched_entity is not
guaranteed to be the same completion even if targeting the same hardware
engine. This is because in Xe we have a firmware scheduler, the GuC,
which allowed to reorder, timeslice, and preempt submissions. If a using
shared drm_gpu_scheduler across multiple drm_sched_entity, the TDR falls
apart as the TDR expects submission order == completion order. Using a
dedicated drm_gpu_scheduler per drm_sched_entity solve this problem.

2. In Xe submissions are done via programming a ring buffer (circular
buffer), a drm_gpu_scheduler provides a limit on number of jobs, if the
limit of number jobs is set to RING_SIZE / MAX_SIZE_PER_JOB we get flow
control on the ring for free.

A problem with this design is currently a drm_gpu_scheduler uses a
kthread for submission / job cleanup. This doesn't scale if a large
number of drm_gpu_scheduler are used. To work around the scaling issue,
use a worker rather than kthread for submission / job cleanup.

v2:
  - (Rob Clark) Fix msm build
  - Pass in run work queue
v3:
  - (Boris) don't have loop in worker
v4:
  - (Tvrtko) break out submit ready, stop, start helpers into own patch
v5:
  - (Boris) default to ordered work queue
v6:
  - (Luben / checkpatch) fix alignment in msm_ringbuffer.c
  - (Luben) s/drm_sched_submit_queue/drm_sched_wqueue_enqueue
  - (Luben) Update comment for drm_sched_wqueue_enqueue
  - (Luben) Positive check for submit_wq in drm_sched_init
  - (Luben) s/alloc_submit_wq/own_submit_wq
v7:
  - (Luben) s/drm_sched_wqueue_enqueue/drm_sched_run_job_queue
v8:
  - (Luben) Adjust var names / comments
