xe, and shared helpers it uses such as drm_gpuvm, already take bare
drm_device references (drm_dev_get()) from several contexts, for
example GuC submission fence workers, EU stall, OA and PMU sampling
code, and drm_gpuvm's own vm object lifetime, without pairing them
with a module reference. Since xe_exit() is only invoked after the
module's own refcount has dropped to zero, none of these references
currently prevent `rmmod xe` from proceeding while they, or the
underlying xe_device release path they can trigger, are still
outstanding, i.e. driver code belonging to a module whose text is
being freed could still end up executing.

Close this gap by keeping a device-count and waiting for it to reach
zero at module unload, then waiting for any release callback that has
started executing to finish, using the drm_dev_release_barrier()
infrastructure introduced in the previous commit.

The wait for the device-count to reach zero at module unload is
unbounded and non-interruptible. Rather than blocking silently forever
if a reference is ever leaked, use wait_var_event_timeout() with a 20s
timeout, well above the typical maximum dma_fence signalling time, and
warn once if devices still remain by then, before falling back to an
unbounded wait_var_event() so a stuck rmmod is at least observable
instead of an indefinite, silent hang.

Note that if a reference genuinely leaks, this still ends up as an
indefinite uninterruptible sleep, which may eventually trip the
kernel's hung-task watchdog. The alternative would be for these bare
drm_device references to also take a module reference, which would
instead make the module unable to be unloaded unless all its devices are
manually unbound first. The wait-based approach is chosen here since it
keeps rmmod usable in the common case.

Register a driver-private SRCU domain via the new
&drm_driver.release_srcu field on both xe drm_driver instances, and
pass the driver to drm_dev_release_barrier(). This keeps xe's wait for
its own release callbacks to complete from blocking on unrelated
drivers' release paths.

xe_device_exit() is added as a new module exit hook. Its entry in the
init_funcs[] table is placed between xe_destroy_wq_module_init and
xe_register_pci_driver, so that (exit functions run in reverse array
order) it executes after xe_unregister_pci_driver() has forced all
devices to unbind, but before xe_destroy_wq_module_exit() tears down
the module-lifetime xe_destroy_wq. This preserves xe_destroy_wq's
existing teardown ordering relative to xe_sched_job_module_exit() and
xe_hw_fence_module_exit(), which destroy kmem_caches that work drained
from xe_destroy_wq relies on, while ensuring xe_destroy_wq itself is
only torn down once xe_device_exit() has confirmed no more work can be
queued onto it.

v2:
- Updated commit message to describe the actual implementation (a
  single 20s wait_var_event_timeout() followed by one pr_warn() and an
  unbounded wait_var_event(), rather than a loop retrying with a
  diagnostic every 10s) and its uninterruptible-sleep tradeoff
