[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Keep ring->active_list and ring->requests_list consistent

If we retire requests last, we may use a later seqno and so clear
the requests lists without clearing the active list, leading to
confusion. Hence we should retire requests first for consistency with
the early return. The order used to be important as the lifecycle for
the object on the active list was determined by request->seqno. However,
the requests themselves are now reference counted removing the
constraint from the order of retirement.

Fixes regression from
