[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v3] drm/i915: Disable PSMI sleep messages on all rings around context switches

There exists a current workaround to prevent a hang on context switch
should the ring go to sleep in the middle of the restore,
WaProgramMiArbOnOffAroundMiSetContext (applicable to all gen7+). In
spite of disabling arbitration (which prevents the ring from powering
down during the critical section) we were still hitting hangs that had
the hallmarks of the known erratum. That is we are still seeing hangs
"on the last instruction in the context restore". By comparing -nightly
(broken) with requests (working), we were able to deduce that it was the
semaphore LRI cross-talk that reproduced the original failure. The key
was that requests implemented deferred semaphore signalling, and
disabling that, i.e. emitting the semaphore signal to every other ring
after every batch restored the frequent hang.  Explicitly disabling PSMI
sleep on the RCS ring was insufficient, all the rings had to be awake to
prevent the hangs. Fortunately, we can reduce the wakelock to the
MI_SET_CONTEXT operation itself, and so should be able to limit the extra
power implications.

Since the MI_ARB_ON_OFF workaround is listed for all gen7 and above
products, we should apply this extra hammer for all of the same
platforms despite so far that we have only been able to reproduce the
hang on certain ivb and hsw models. The last question is whether we want
to always use the extra hammer or only when we know semaphores are in
operation. At the moment, we only use LRI on non-RCS rings for
semaphores, but that may change in the future with the possibility of
reintroducing this bug under subtle conditions.

v2: Make it explicit that the PSMI LRI are an extension to the original
workaround for the other rings.
v3: Bikeshedding variable names and whitespacing
