[PATCH v7 0/4] gpu: nova-core: retain the GSP-RM log buffers

[Vladislav Zaharov <vladazaharova2018@gmail.com>]

The GSP-RM log buffers are exposed through debugfs, but they go away
when the GPU is unbound, including when probe() fails, which is when
they are most useful.

Patch 1 moves the debugfs root into the module data, which also fixes
the root being leaked when the driver registration fails. Patch 2 moves
the log buffer code into its own file. Patch 3 adds a gsp_keep_logs
module parameter that keeps a copy of the buffers after unbind. Patch 4
drops the completed item from todo.rst.

Changes since v6:
 - drop the "retained/" directory: the copies are exposed in the same
   files as the live buffers, and are dropped when the GPU is bound
   again (Danilo, John)
 - split the code move out of the retain patch (Alexandre)
 - move DebugfsData into debugfs.rs, make the accessor
   NovaCoreModule::debugfs_data(), reword the comments around
   DEBUGFS_DATA as invariants, add a Fixes: tag (Alexandre, Danilo)
 - shorten the commit messages and comments (Alexandre)
 - rebase onto current drm-rust-next

The code and the commit messages were drafted with an LLM coding
assistant and reviewed by me. Each patch builds on its own, and the
series was tested on a GB203:

  - without gsp_keep_logs nothing changes;
  - with gsp_keep_logs=1, <BDF>/{loginit,logintr,logrm} keep the full
    64 KiB of each buffer after unbind, show the live buffers again
    after the next bind, and a second unbind replaces the copies;
  - with a failure injected after the GSP has booted, probe() fails
    with -EINVAL and the logs of that attempt are still readable;
  - with a failure injected into the driver registration, the module
    fails to load and leaves no debugfs directory behind;
  - 40 load/bind/unbind/unload cycles use no more memory with
    gsp_keep_logs=1 than without it.
