This patch introduces an approach to track the execlist context status
change.

GVT-g uses GVT context as the "shadow context". The content inside GVT
context will be copied back to guest after the context is idle. And GVT-g
has to know the status of the execlist context.

This function is configurable when creating a new GEM context. Currently,
Only GVT-g will create the "status-change-notification" enabled GEM
context.

v10:

- Fix the identation. (Joonas)

v8:

- Remove the boolean flag in struct i915_gem_context. (Joonas)

v7:

- Remove per-engine ctx status notifiers. Use one status notifier for all
engines. (Joonas)
- Add prefix "INTEL_" for related definitions. (Joonas)
- Refine the comments in execlists_context_status_change(). (Joonas)

v6:

- When !CONFIG_DRM_I915_GVT, make GVT code as dead code then compiler
could automatically eliminate them for us. (Chris)
- Always initialize the notifier header, so it could be switched on/off
at runtime. (Chris)

v5:

- Only compile this feature when CONFIG_DRM_I915_GVT is enabled.(Tvrtko)
