drm/i915: Move the priotree struct to its own headers

Over time the priotree has grown from a sorted list to a more
complicated structure for propagating constraints along the dependency
chain to try and resolve priority inversion. Start to segregate this
information from the rest of the request/fence tracking.

+ * Requests exist in a complex web of interdependencies. Each request
+ * has to wait for some other request to complete before it is ready to be run
+ * (e.g. we have to wait until the pixels have been rendering into a texture
+ * before we can copy from it). We track the readiness of a request in terms
+ * of fences, but we also need to keep the dependency tree for the lifetime
+ * of the request (beyond the life of an individual fence). We use the tree
+ * at various points to reorder the requests whilst keeping the requests
+ * in order with respect to their various dependencies.
+ *
+ * There is no active component to the "scheduler". As we know the dependency
+ * DAG of each request, we are able to insert it into a sorted queue when it
+ * is ready, and are able to reorder its portion of the graph to accommodate
+ * dynamic priority changes.
