drm/i915/gt: Guard timeline pinning without relying on struct_mutex
In preparation for removing struct_mutex from around context retirement, we need to make timeline pinning and unpinning safe. Since multiple engines/contexts can share a single timeline, we cannot rely on borrowing the context mutex (otherwise we could state that the timeline is only pinned/unpinned inside the context pin/unpin and so guarded by it). However, we only perform a sequence of atomic operations inside the timeline pin/unpin and the sequence of those operations is safe for a concurrent unpin / pin, so we can relax the struct_mutex requirement.
