drm/i915: Hold an object reference whilst we shrink it

Whilst running the shrinker, we need to hold a reference as we unbind
the objects, or else we may end up waiting for and retiring requests,
which in turn may result in this object being freed.

This is very similar to the eviction code which also has to be very
careful to keep a reference to its objects as it retires and unbinds
them.

Another similarity, that Ben pointed out, is that as we may call
retire-requests, the unbound_list is outside of our control. We must
only process a single element of that list at a time, that is we can not
rely on the "safe" next pointer being valid after a call to
i915_vma_unbind().
