[PATCH 8/8] 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 wheather
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 purporse 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 an argument to intel_context_mark_active() which is true if the lock
must have been acquired, false if other magic is involved and the lock
is not needed. Use the `false' argument only from within
switch_to_kernel_context() and remove __timeline_mark_lock().
