[PATCH 15/59] drm/i915/execlists: Direct submission from irq handler

Continuing the theme of bypassing ksoftirqd latency, also first try to
directly submit from the CS interrupt handler to clear the ELSP and
queue the next.

In the past, we have been hesitant to do this as the context switch
processing has been quite heavy, requiring forcewaked mmio. However, as
we now can read the GPU state from the cacheable HWSP, it is relatively
cheap!

v2: Explain why we test_bit(IRQ_EXECLIST) after doing notify_ring (it's
because the notify_ring() may itself trigger direct submission clearing
the bit)
