[Intel-gfx] Reduce usage of the name 'ring' for engines et al

Chris Wilson is trying to convert 'ringbuffer' to 'ring', but at present
there's rather too much legacy code using 'ring' for various other things,
usually engines or engine-ids. This patchset converts some of them (but
not as yet the gpu_error or trace code).

Chris: what is your prefered name for a local holding an engine id?
'engine_id' is obvious, but seems overly long and clunky. Anything better?
