Unlike when resolution change on keyframes, dynamic resolution change
on inter frames doesn't allow to do a stream off/on sequence because
it is need to keep all previous references alive to decode inter frames.
This constraint have two main problems:
- more memory consumption.
- more buffers in use.
To solve these issue this series introduce DELETE_BUFS ioctl and remove
the 32 buffers limit per queue.

VP9 conformance tests using fluster give a score of 210/305.
The 24 resize inter tests (vp90-2-21-resize_inter_* files) are ok
but require to use postprocessor.

Kernel branch is available here:
https://gitlab.collabora.com/benjamin.gaignard/for-upstream/-/commits/remove_vb2_queue_limit_v4

GStreamer branch to use DELETE_BUF ioctl and testing dynamic resolution
change is here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/benjamin.gaignard1/gstreamer/-/commits/VP9_drc

changes in version 4:
- Stop using Xarray, instead let queues decide about their own maximum
  number of buffer and allocate bufs array given that value.
- Rework offset cookie encoding pattern.
- Change DELETE_BUF to DELETE_BUFS because it now usable for
  range of buffer to be symetrical of CREATE_BUFS.
- Add fixes tags on couple of Verisilicon related patches.
- Be smarter in Verisilicon postprocessor buffers management.
- Rebase on top of v6.4

changes in version 3:
- Use Xarray API to store allocated video buffers.
- No module parameter to limit the number of buffer per queue.
- Use Xarray inside Verisilicon driver to store postprocessor buffers
  and remove VB2_MAX_FRAME limit.
- Allow Versilicon driver to change of resolution while streaming
- Various fixes the Verisilicon VP9 code to improve fluster score.
 
changes in version 2:
- Use a dynamic array and not a list to keep trace of allocated buffers.
  Not use IDR interface because it is marked as deprecated in kernel
  documentation.
- Add a module parameter to limit the number of buffer per queue.
- Add DELETE_BUF ioctl and m2m helpers.
