[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/2] drm/i915/guc: default to using GuC submission where possible

This patch simply changes the default value of "enable_guc_submission"
from 0 (never) to -1 (auto). This means that GuC submission will be
used if the platform has a GuC, the GuC supports the request submission
protocol, and any required GuC firmwware was successfully loaded. If any
of these conditions are not met, the driver will fall back to using
execlist mode.
