Kernel Patches: Mesa Vulkan VK_INTEL_performance_query extension

[[e-mail]]

[Impact]

From the spec manpage:
"This extension allows an application to capture performance data to be interpreted by a external application or library."

The usecase is to allow developers to improve apps to perform better on Intel GPU's.

[Test case]

FIXME

[Regression potential]

The patches are from v5.5.x, and the backport was provided by Intel, so there should be less concern of it breaking anything.

--

As an extension of the work we did in 1826085 Mesa Vulkan VK_INTEL_performance_query extension in Ubuntu 19.10.
We need additional kernel patches that have merged in 5.5.
