[PATCH] drm/i915: Don't disable interrupts and pretend a lock as been acquired in __timeline_mark_lock().

This is a revert of commits
   d67739268cf0e ("drm/i915/gt: Mark up the nested engine-pm timeline lock as irqsafe")
   6c69a45445af9 ("drm/i915/gt: Mark context->active_count as protected by timeline->mutex")

The existing code leads to a different behaviour depending on whether
lockdep is enabled or not. Any following lock that is acquired without
disabling interrupts (but needs to) will not be noticed by lockdep.

This it not just a lockdep annotation but is used but an actual mutex_t
that is properly used as a lock but in case of __timeline_mark_lock()
lockdep is only told that it is acquired but no lock has been acquired.

It appears that its purpose is just satisfy the lockdep_assert_held()
check in intel_context_mark_active(). The other problem with disabling
interrupts is that on PREEMPT_RT interrupts are also disabled which
leads to problems for instance later during memory allocation.

Add a CONTEXT_IS_PARKED bit to intel_engine_cs and set_bit/clear_bit it
instead of mutex_acquire/mutex_release. Use test_bit in the two
identified spots which relied on the lockdep annotation.
