drm/i915: Replace obj->pin_global with obj->frontbuffer

obj->pin_global was originally used as a means to keep the shrinker off
the active scanout, but we use the vma->pin_count itself for that and
the obj->frontbuffer to delay shrinking active framebuffers. The other
role that obj->pin_global gained was for spotting display objects inside
GEM and working harder to keep those coherent; for which we can again
simply inspect obj->frontbuffer directly.

Coming up next, we will want to manipulate the pin_global counter
outside of the principle locks, so would need to make pin_global atomic.
However, since obj->frontbuffer is already managed atomically, it makes
sense to use that the primary key for display objects instead of having
pin_global.

Ville pointed out the principle difference is that obj->frontbuffer is
set for as long as an intel_framebuffer is attached to an object, but
obj->pin_global was only raised for as long as the object was active. In
practice, this means that we consider the object as being on the scanout
for longer than is strictly required, causing us to be more proactive in
flushing -- though it should be true that we would have flushed
eventually when the back became the front, except that on the flip path
that flush is async but when hit from another ioctl it will be
synchronous.
