[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 04/13] drm/i915: Compute the ELSP register location once

Similar to the issue with reading from the context status buffer, we
frequently write to the ELSP register (4 writes per interrupt) and know
we hold the required spinlock and forcewake throughout. We can
shortcircuit the I915_WRITE() by precomputing the address of the ELSP
register and avoid all the known checks.
