Sachit Kadle 733fb79b39 gpu: nvgpu: add support for pre-allocated resources ...

Add support for pre-allocation of job tracking resources
w/ new (extended) ioctl. Goal is to avoid dynamic memory
allocation in the submit path. This patch does the following:

1) Intoduces a new ioctl, NVGPU_IOCTL_CHANNEL_ALLOC_GPFIFO_EX,
which enables pre-allocation of tracking resources per job:
a) 2x priv_cmd_entry
b) 2x gk20a_fence

2) Implements circular ring buffer for job
tracking to avoid lock contention between producer
(submitter) and consumer (clean-up)
