[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] [RFC] drm/i915: Warning when reads or writes are dropped

The GTFIFODBG register gives us 3 error types when the fifo is accessed
and full. Whenever we do a forcewake_put we can check this register to
see if any of the CPU related errors occurred.

Of more interest is perhaps the bit I am not checking which tells when
some other part of the chip makes a request and the FIFO is full. I
couldn't really decide on a good place to put that check.

This patch seems to have value to me, but I'm not sure it's worth the
cost of the extra MMIO read`. (I've yet to see this occur, but I haven't
actually been running with it for very long).
