Shrinking a bo outside system memory invalidates its GPU\nmappings, which needs the device resumed, so while it is runtime\nsuspended the page table zap trips an assert and the TLB invalidation\nreturns -ENODEV:\n\n  WARNING: drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_bo.c:770 at xe_bo_move_notify+0x1fc/0x450 [xe]\n   xe_bo_shrink+0x20f/0x2b0 [xe]\n   __xe_shrinker_walk+0x174/0x410 [xe]\n   xe_shrinker_scan+0x10c/0x1e0 [xe]\n   do_shrink_slab+0x176/0x7e0\n   drop_caches_sysctl_handler+0x9c/0xf0\n\nTake a reference before walking a memory type other than XE_PL_SYSTEM\nand stop there if it cannot be acquired.  Reuse the shrinker's existing\nacquire path, which resumes the device directly where reclaim allows\nthat and otherwise queues the PM worker for a later scan.  Stop the walk\nonce the scan target is met, so a satisfied scan does not wake the\ndevice.  System memory is still reclaimed while the device is suspended.\n\nGate this on xe_device_is_l2_flush_optimized(), the same condition under\nwhich xe_bo_trigger_rebind() issues the invalidation for a non-fault-mode\nvm, so reclaim is unaffected elsewhere.  The System CCS copy already has\nits own reference in xe_bo_shrink().\n\nOnly a non-fault-mode vm can reach this, since a fault-mode vm requires\nLR mode and that holds a runtime PM reference for the vm's lifetime.\n\nReproduced with igt@xe_madvise@dontneed-before-exec while the GPU is\nruntime suspended.\n\nv2: simplify needs_rpm check.
