[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 41/53] drm/i915/bdw: Avoid non-lite-restore preemptions

[oscar.mateo at intel.com]

From: Oscar Mateo <oscar.mateo at intel.com>

In the current Execlists feeding mechanism, full preemption is not
supported yet: only lite-restores are allowed (this is: the GPU
simply samples a new tail pointer for the context currently in
execution).

But we have identified an scenario in which a full preemption occurs:
1) We submit two contexts for execution (A & B).
2) The GPU finishes with the first one (A), switches to the second one
(B) and informs us.
3) We submit B again (hoping to cause a lite restore) together with C,
but in the time we spend writing to the ELSP, the GPU finishes B.
4) The GPU start executing B again (since we told it so).
5) We receive a B finished interrupt and, mistakenly, we submit C (again)
and D, causing a full preemption of B.

By keeping a better track of our submissions, we can avoid the scenario
described above.

v2: elsp_submitted belongs in the new intel_ctx_submit_request. Several
rebase changes.
