[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 4/5] drm/i915: Modifying RC6 Promotion timer for Media workloads.

From: Deepak S <deepak.s at linux.intel.com>

In normal cases, RC6 promotion timer is 1700us/500us. This will
result in more time spent in C1 state. For more residency in C6
in case of media workloads, this is changed to 250us.
Not doing this for 3D workloads as too many C6-C0 transition
delays can result in performance impact
