[Intel-gfx] hsw rps values regress RPS on Macbook Air

On my new MBA with danvet's drm-intel-next-queued, I'm not getting
working RPS.  vblank_mode=0 glxgears never ups the frequency, and
vblank_mode=0 openarena only makes it up to 500mhz.  Reverting
1ee9ae3244c4789f3184c5123f3b2d7e405b3f4c gets the machine to responsive
RPS: fully on while the GPU is busy, fully lowered when it's not.

Since we're always just looking for all-on or all-off and never see
workloads that actually want to be somewhere in between, could we please
just move to race to idle for RPS?
