[PATCH 02/18] drm/i915/gt: Wait for CSB entries on Tigerlake

On Tigerlake, we are seeing a repeat of commit d8f505311717 ("drm/i915/icl:
Forcibly evict stale csb entries") where, presumably, due to a missing
Global Observation Point synchronisation, the write pointer of the CSB
ringbuffer is updated _prior_ to the contents of the ringbuffer. That is
we see the GPU report more context-switch entries for us to parse, but
those entries have not been written, leading us to process stale events,
and eventually report a hung GPU.

However, this effect appears to be much more severe than we previously
saw on Icelake (though it might be best if we try the same approach
there as well and measure), and Bruce suggested the good idea of resetting
the CSB entry after use so that we can detect when it has been updated by
the GPU. By instrumenting how long that may be, we can set a reliable
upper bound for how long we should wait for:

    513 late, avg of 61 retries (590 ns), max of 1061 retries (10099 ns)
