[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 01/11] drm/i915: Accurately track when we mark the hardware as idle/busy

[Paulo Zanoni]

From: Chris Wilson <chris at chris-wilson.co.uk>

We currently call intel_mark_idle() too often, as we do so as a
side-effect of processing the request queue. However, we the calls to
intel_mark_idle() are expected to be paired with a call to
intel_mark_busy() (or else we try to idle the hardware by accessing
registers that are already disabled). Make the idle/busy tracking
explicit to prevent the multiple calls.

v2: From Paulo
  - Make it compile
  - Drop the __i915_add_request chunk

Chris did not reply to my review comments yet, so I just went and implemented
them. We need at least an ACK form him here before merging.
