A small set of drm_syncobj optimisations which should make things a tiny bit
more efficient on the CPU side of things.
/Maybe/ between 1-2% more FPS can be observed with "vkgears -present-mailbox" on
the Steam Deck Plasma desktop but I am reluctant to make a definitive claim. It
would be best if someone could verify or suggest a more heavy workload for
syncobjs.
Later I added two more patches to the series which add a fast path to
replace the kmalloc/kfree path for vast majority of invocations.
For example during Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark 96.7% lookups is for a
single syncobj, 3.2% for two, and nothing above 3. Syncobj wait
distribution is very similar.
With that and some kernel hardening options turned off it still seems
around 1.5% improvement for vkgears.
