[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 4/5] drm/i915: Do not lie about atomic wait granularity

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin at intel.com>

Currently the wait_for_atomic_us only allows for a millisecond
granularity which is not nice towards callers requesting small
micro-second waits.

Re-implement it so micro-second granularity is really supported
and not just in the name of the macro.

This has another beneficial side effect that it improves
"gem_latency -n 100" results by approximately 2.5% (throughput
and latencies) and 3% (CPU usage). (Note this improvement is
relative to not yet merged execlist lock uncontention patch
which moves the CSB MMIO outside this lock.)

v2:
  * Warn when used from non-atomic context (if possible).
  * Warn on too long atomic waits.

v3:
  * Added comment explaining CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT.
  * Fixed pre-processor indentation.
  (Chris Wilson)

v4:
 * Commit msg update (gem_latency) and rebase.
