drm/panthor: Add AW assignment tracking

This commit tracks the scheduler assigned to each access window, initializes
assignments from device tree partition masks, and replays requests that
arrive before access windows are assigned.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but there is an extra semicolon after the closing brace of
to_assigned_sched_idx().

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but per the Cleanup API conventions, partitions can be
defined and initialized in a single statement rather than initialized to
NULL and assigned separately.

[Severity: Medium]
Can a request interrupt arriving between publishing adev->aw_sched_map[] and
arbitration_retry_pending_requests() reorder or duplicate AW requests?

panthor_resource_group_init() enables Resource Group interrupts and starts
the AW handshake before arbitration_resource_init() runs.  If an AW sends
VM_ARB_GPU_REQUEST before adev->aw_sched_map[] is populated,
panthor_arbitration_on_request() sets its bit in pending_aw_request_mask.
arbitration_resource_init() then populates adev->aw_sched_map[], drops
assignment_lock, and starts the scheduler before draining
pending_aw_request_mask:

CPU0                                  <hardirq>
arbitration_resource_init()
                                      rg_irq_handler()
                                        ...
                                          panthor_arbitration_on_request(aw=
0)
                                            set_bit(0, pending_aw_request_m=
ask)
  lock(&adev->assignment_lock)
  adev->aw_sched_map[aw_id] =3D i
  unlock(&adev->assignment_lock)
  arbitration_sched_try_start()
                                      rg_irq_handler()
                                        ...
                                          panthor_arbitration_on_request(aw=
0)
                                            panthor_arbitration_sched_on_re=
quest()
  arbitration_retry_pending_requests()
    test_and_clear_bit(0, ...)
    panthor_arbitration_on_request(aw0)
      panthor_arbitration_sched_on_request()  <-- duplicate replay

Because panthor_arbitration_on_request() does not clear aw_id in
pending_aw_request_mask when idx >=3D 0, a resent request (such as from
panthor_aw_handshake_handle() on ARB_VM_INIT) is queued once by the
interrupt handler and replayed a second time by
arbitration_retry_pending_requests(), triggering a spurious warning in
panthor_arbitration_sched_on_request() or an extra GPU grant if the AW has
already entered ARB_SCHED_PHASE_STOPPING or ARB_SCHED_PHASE_IDLE.  A request
from a different AW in that window also bypasses the earlier pending request
and is granted the GPU first.

Replaying pending requests under assignment_lock when populating
adev->aw_sched_map[] (before starting the scheduler), or clearing
pending_aw_request_mask in panthor_arbitration_on_request(), would avoid the
race.
