[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/2] drm/i915: Simplify flushing activity on the ring

[Chris Wilson]

As we now always preallocate the seqno before writing to the ring, we
can trivially test if we have any pending activity on the ring by
inspecting the olr. This makes it then possible to flush operations that
are not normally associated with a request, like power-management.
