This reverts commit 1e98d8c52e.
The problem with this patch is that it makes i915_request to hold a
reference to intel_context, which in turn holds a reference on the VM.
This strong back referencing can lead to reference loops which leads
to resource leak.
An example is the upcoming VM_BIND work which requires VM to hold
a reference to some shared VM specific BO. But this BO's dma-resv
fences holds reference to the i915_request thus leading to reference
loop.
v2:
Do not use reserved requests for virtual engines

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.
