[PATCH 36/98] drm/i915: Check the CPU cached value of seqno after waking the waiter

[Chris Wilson]

If we have multiple waiters, we may find that many complete on the same
wake up. If we first inspect the seqno from the CPU cache, we may reduce
the number of heavyweight coherent seqno reads we require.
