[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Skip shrinking of fenced objects if Gfx is suspended

[Praveen Paneri]

When the system is running low on memory, gem shrinker is invoked.
In this process objects will be unbinded from GTT.
For tiled objects, access to fence registers could be required while
unbinding them. That requires a resume of gfx device, if suspended,
in the shrinker path. This intermediate resume could cause power
leakage.
To avoid this intermediate resume of gfx device, don't consider
tiled(fenced) objects for purge in the shrinker path.
