When the xe buffer-object shrinker allows GPU waits and write-back, (typically from kswapd), perform multilpe passes, skipping subsequent passes if the shrinker number of scanned objects target is reached.
1) Without GPU waits and write-back 2) Without write-back 3) With both GPU-waits and write-back
This is to avoid stalls and costly write- and readbacks unless they are really necessary.

Why not include this in the !ctx->no_wait_gpu condition above? If ctx-
no_wait_gpu was passed in as true here, we're just checking scanned >=
to_scan twice in a row with the same values.
Otherwise the patch lgtm.
Thanks, Stuart
