[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 3/3] drm/i915: re-enable rc6 by default when GMAR is disabled

Most of the rc6-related hangs and major issues were addressed for the past
months.

Let's re-enable it by default to provide a more wider testing, and catch
the remaining problems.

According to tests, enablement of rc6 results in up to +50% improvements
in power usage and battery life, so it certainly would be a nice feature
to have enabled by default.

Also, most of the rc6-related issues seem to came from GMAR, so we only
enable it as long as GMAR is disabled.
