drm/i915: switch intel_wakeref_t underlying type to struct ref_tracker *
For intel_wakeref_t, opaque is reasonable, but disguising the underlying struct ref_tracker * as an unsigned long is not so great. Update the typedef to remove one level of disguise. Although the kernel coding style strongly discourages pointer typedefs, it's a better alternative, and an incremental improvement on the status quo. It provides much better type safety than an unsigned long could, and prevents passing magic -1 instead of INTEL_WAKEREF_DEF. Moreover, it provides a gradual path for replacing intel_wakeref_t with struct ref_tracker * if desired. As an extra safety measure, check for error pointers in intel_ref_tracker_free() before passing them on to ref_tracker_free(), to catch any mistakes with mock gt special wakeref value.
