Prepares the plumbing for setting request/fence expiration time. All code is put in place but is never activated due yet missing ability to actually configure the timer. Outline of the basic operation: A timer is started when request is ready for execution. If the request completes (retires) before the timer fires, timer is cancelled and nothing further happens. If the timer fires request is added to a lockless list and worker queued. Purpose of this is twofold: a) It allows request cancellation from a more friendly context and b) coalesces multiple expirations into a single event of consuming the list. Worker locklessly consumes the list of expired requests and cancels them all using previous added i915_request_cancel(). Associated timeout value is stored in rq->context.watchdog.timeout_us. v2: * Log expiration. v3: * Include more information about user timeline in the log message. v4: * Remove obsolete comment and fix formatting.

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.
