There is a race condition which leads to dpm video power
profile switch (disable and enable) during active video
decode on multi-instance VCN hardware.
This patch aims to fix/skip step 3 in the below sequence:
- inst_1 power_on
- inst_0(idle) power_off
- inst_0(idle) video_power_profile OFF (step 3)
- inst_1 video_power_profile ON during next begin_use
Add flags to track ON/OFF vcn instances and check if all
instances are off before disabling video power profile.
v2: (David Wu)
- pg_lock is per instance it doesn't help solve the issue.
- protect flags also with global workload_profile_mutex.
