This is intended to fix the pmu integration in i915 when the device
unbinds. I don't have the hardware to test, but I belive a similar issue
occurs with any driver using perf_pmu_unregister() if they can unbind
from the device - in drm subsystem, that would be the amd driver.

Previous attempts I could find:
1) https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240115170120.662220-1-tvrtko.ursulin@linux.intel.com/
2) https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240213180302.47266-1-umesh.nerlige.ramappa@intel.com/

I think (2) is a no-go as it tries to do everything from the i915 side
by force-closing the fd.

I believe this series is simpler* than (1), but that could could also be
a good alternative if we want to go with that approach.

First patch is to perf. The rest is to i915 that builds on that and
moves the unregister bit by bit to be done later, after the last
reference to i915 is dropped.  Peter/Ingo, could I get your opinion on
this or if (1) would be a good alternative? Thanks.

* simpler, but see downside mentioned in patch 6

Lucas De Marchi (7):
  perf/core: Add pmu get/put
  drm/i915/pmu: Fix crash due to use-after-free
  drm/i915/pmu: Use event_to_pmu()
  drm/i915/pmu: Drop is_igp()
  drm/i915/pmu: Let resource survive unbind
  drm/i915/pmu: Lazy unregister
  drm/i915/pmu: Do not set event_init to NULL
