The NGG hardware pipeline doesn't track these statistics automatically,
and in fact *cannot* track them automatically when API geometry shaders
are involved, so we accumulate statistics in the shader using atomic
adds.
This implementation accumulates statistics via the memory system and
the RW buffer descriptor setup. We could use GDS, but since these
atomics aren't latency-sensitive, that basically just trades off
L2$ bandwidth vs. export bus bandwidth. One single memory transaction
per shader workgroup doesn't seem too bad. The result ring buffer in
memory is needed either way to avoid pipeline stalls.
The shader code contains the atomic unconditionally, though the
GFX10_GS_QUERY_BUF is a null buffer when no queries are active. The
atomic is simply discarded by the shader hardware in that case.

Fix the logic for buffer full check on alloc.
This patch just takes the fix Nicolai attached to the bug report
and updates it to work on master.
Fixes: e0f0d3675d ("radeonsi: factor si_query_buffer logic out of si_query_hw")

This is a move towards using composition instead of inheritance for
different query types.
This change weakens out-of-memory error reporting somewhat, though this
should be acceptable since we didn't consistently report such errors in
the first place.
