Maybe we should change drm_gem_evict() to use BOOKKEEP. The
test_signaled(BOOKKEEP) should be a "stronger" check than
test_signaled(READ)?

If BO is use, then it won't be evicted, while idling BOs will be
evicted. Hence, the used BOs will be naturally moved down the LRU list
each time shrinker is invoked.
