Subject[PATCH 07/21] drm/i915/gt: describe the new tlb parameter at i915_vma_resource
Date
TLB cache invalidation can happen on two different situations:

1. synchronously, at __vma_put_pages();
2. asynchronously.

On the first case, TLB cache invalidation happens inside
__vma_put_pages(). So, no need to do it later on.

However, on the second case, the pages will keep in memory
until __i915_vma_evict() is called.

So, we need to store the TLB data at struct i915_vma_resource,
in order to do a TLB cache invalidation before allowing
userspace to re-use the same memory.

So, i915_vma_resource_unbind() has gained a new parameter
in order to store the TLB data at the second case.

Document it.
