[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2] Avoid pageflipping freeze when we apparently miss the flip prepare interrupt

When we miss the flip prepare interrupt, we never get into the
software state needed to restart userspace, resulting in a freeze of a
full-screen OpenGL application (such as a compositor).
Work around this by checking DSPxSURF/DSPxBASE to see if the page flip
has actually happened. If it has, do the work we would have done when
the flip prepare interrupt comes in.
Also, add debugfs information to tell us what's going on (based on the
patch from Chris Wilson attached to bugs.fdo bug #29798).

After sending the previous patch, I thought about the problem a lot
more. We have two interesting cases when a full-screen application
is running:
1) The GPU is able to complete rendering in the time between the page
flip being queued and the next vblank. This should result in a
pageflip prepared interrupt before the vblank interrupt, but if it
doesn't, the stall check will detect that the page flip has happened
and recover without a visual glitch.
2) The rendering is queued late, or is too hefty for the GPU to
complete before the next vblank. In this case, we pay a small CPU
penalty checking to see if the page flip has happened, while the GPU
hasn't got far enough through the ring to have seen that we want it to
flip.
My intution is that case 2 is rare - in the case of my application (an
OpenGL compositor for digital signage), I expect to be woken up as
soon as the page flip has occured, queue some rendering and follow it
with a page flip request. Further, except in cases of extreme
overload, I expect to be able to queue everything up to the page flip
and have the GPU process it well before the next vblank.
Hence the stall check handler aims to short-circuit as soon as I can
determine that we've not got a page flip queued (don't waste time), or
if we're in case 1, and have received the page flip prepared interrupt
before vblank.
It only reads a hardware register (hopefully not a painful cost, but
still more expensive than checking two CPU-side variables rather than
just one) if we've hit the problem (when we have to check the GPU
register to detect it), or if we're in case 2.
