drm/i915: make context status notifier head be per engine
GVTg has introduced the context status notifier to schedule the GVTg workload. At that time, the notifier is bound to GVTg context only, so GVTg is not aware of host workloads. Now we are going to improve GVTg's guest workload scheduler policy, and add Guc emulation support for new Gen graphics. Both these two features require acknowledgment for all contexts running on hardware. (But will not alter host workload.) So here try to make some change. The change is simple: 1. Move the context status notifier head from i915_gem_context to intel_engine_cs. Which means there is a notifier head per engine instead of per context. Execlist driver still call notifier for each context sched-in/out events of current engine. 2. At GVTg side, it binds a notifier_block for each physical engine at GVTg initialization period. Then GVTg can hear all context status events. In this patch, GVTg do nothing for host context event, but later will add a function there. But in any case, the notifier callback is a noop if this is no active vGPU. Since intel_gvt_init() is called at early initialization stage and require the status notifier head has been initiated, I initiate it in intel_engine_setup(). v2: remove a redundant newline.
