[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t] i915/perf: Make sure i915 is loaded before reading proc

[Umesh Nerlige Ramappa]

The previous test may have unloaded i915 or failed to load it back. To
combat such cases, each test fixture is supposed to ensure that i915 is
loaded prior to running the subtests. In most fixtures this happens
automatically when we try to get a handle to i915. In perf OA, we stat
some proc/sys files even before getting a handle to i915. Occassionally,
perf tests fail trying to stat these files. Fix perf OA by checking and
loading i915 if it's not loaded.

v2: Use drm_load_module() (Petri)
