[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/2] drm/i915: fix up semaphore_waits_for

There's an entire pile of issues in here:

- Use the main RING_HEAD register, not ACTHD. ACTHD points at the gtt
  offset of the batch buffer when a batch is executed. Semaphores are
  always emitted to the main ring, so we always want to look at that.

- Mask the obtained HEAD pointer with the actual ring size, which is
  much smaller. Together with the above issue this resulted us in
  trying to dereference a pointer way outside of the ring mmio
  mapping. The resulting invalid access in interrupt context
  (hangcheck is executed from timers) lead to a full blown kernel
  panic. The fbcon panic handler then tried to frob our driver harder,
  resulting in a full machine hang at least on my snb here where I've
  stumbled over this.

- Handle ring wrapping correctly and be a bit more explicit about how
  many dwords we're scanning. We probably should also scan more than
  just 4 ...

- Space out some of teh computations for readability.

This prevents hard-hangs on my snb here. Verdict from QA is still
pending, but the symptoms match.
