Kenneth Graunke 578cd00d93 iris: Refcount shader variants
There is a small gap of time where the currently bound uncompiled
shaders, and compiled shader variant, are out of sync.  Specifically,
between pipe->bind_*_state() and the next draw.

Currently, shaders variants live entirely within a single context,
and when deleting an iris_uncompiled_shader, we check if any of its
variants are currently bound, and defer deleting those until the next
iris_update_compiled_shaders() hook runs and binds new shaders to
replace them.  (This is due to the time gap between binding new
uncompiled shaders, and updating variants at draw time when we have
the required NOS in place.)

This works pretty well in a single context world.  But as we move to
share compiled shader variants across multiple contexts, it breaks down.
When deleting a shader, we can't look at all contexts to see if its
variants are bound anywhere.  We can't even quantify whether those
contexts will run a future draw any time soon, to update and unbind.

One fairly crazy solution would be to delete the variants anyway, and
leave the stale pointers to dead variants in place.  This requires
removing any code that compares old and new variants.  Today, we do
that sometimes for seeing if the old/new shaders toggled some feature.
Worse than that, though, we don't just have to avoid dereferences, we'd
have to avoid pointer comparisons.  If we free a variant, and quickly
allocate a new variant, malloc may return the same pointer.  If it's
for the same shader stage, we may get a new different program that has
the same pointer as a previously bound stale one, causing us to think
nothing had changed when we really needed to do updates.  Again, this
is doable, but leaves the code fragile - we'd have to guard against
future patches adding such checks back in.

So, don't do that.  Instead, do basic reference counting.  When a
variant is bound in a context, up the reference.  When it's unbound,
decrement it.  When it hits zero, we know it's not bound anywhere and
is safe to delete, with no stale references.  This ends up being
reasonably cheap anyway, since the atomic is usually uncontested.
