[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 20/25] drm/i915: Only query timestamp when measuring elapsed time

Avoid the two calls to ktime_get_raw_ns() (at best it reads the TSC) as
we only need to compute the elapsed time for a timed wait.

v2: Eliminate the unused local variable reducing the function size by 64
bytes (using the storage space on the callers stack rather than adding
to our stack frame). Writing the code this emits smaller and faster code
for the normal case.
