[PATCH 43/57] drm/i915/gt: Delay taking irqoff for execlists submission

[Chris Wilson]

Before we take the irqsafe spinlock to dequeue requests and submit them
to HW, first do the check whether we need to take any action (i.e.
whether the HW is ready for some work, or if we need to preempt the
currently executing context) without taking the lock. We will then
likely skip taking the spinlock, and so reduce contention.
