Thomas Fleury 9a16bc3fd4 gpu: nvgpu: wait ACK for FECS watchdog timeout
From gv11b onwards, FECS ucode returns an ACK for set watchdog
timeout method. Failure to wait for this ACK was leading to races,
and in some cases, the ACK could be mistaken for the reply to the
next method.

In particular, this happened for the discover golden image size
method which is sent after set watchdog timeout.

With instrumented FECS ucode, it takes longer for the code to
process the set watchdog timeout method, and the write to ack
that method could happen after nvgpu driver clears the mailbox to
send the discover image size method.

With an invalid golden context image size, FECS ended up causing
an MMU fault while attempting to save past allocated buffer.

Added NVGPU_GR_FALCON_METHOD_SET_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT to be used with
gops_gr_falcon.ctrl_ctxsw, and implemented 2 variants:
- gm20b_gr_falcon_ctrl_ctxsw, without ACK
- gv11b_gr_falcon_ctrl_ctxsw, with ACK

Added NVGPU_GR_FALCON_SUBMIT_METHOD_F_LOCKED flag to allow
executing above method without re-acquiring FECS lock. Longer term,
the 'flags' could be added to gop_gr_falcon.ctrl_ctxsw parameters.

Use gops_gr_falcon.ctrl_ctxsw instead of register writes to invoke
set watchdog timeout method in gm20b_gr_falcon_wait_ctxsw_ready.

Also replaced calls to gm20b_gr_falcon_ctrl_ctxsw to
gops_gr.falcon.ctrl_ctxsw when appropriate, since there are
multiple variants (gm20b, gp10b and gv11b).

Last, fixed clearing of mailbox 0 in gm20b_gr_falcon_bind_instblk.
