gem context refcounting is another exercise in least locking design it
seems, where most things get destroyed upon context closure (which can
race with anything really). Only the actual memory allocation and the
locks survive while holding a reference.
This tripped up Jason when reimplementing the single timeline feature

drm/i915: Implement SINGLE_TIMELINE with a syncobj (v4)
We could fix the bug by holding ctx->mutex in execbuf and clear the
pointer (again while holding the mutex) context_close, but it's
cleaner to just make the context object actually invariant over its
_entire_ lifetime. This way any other ioctl that's potentially racing,
but holding a full reference, can still rely on ctx->syncobj being
an immutable pointer. Which without this change, is not the case.
