[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 7/7] drm/i915: Mark the GT as busy before idling the previous request

[Chris Wilson]

In a synchronous setup, we may retire the last request before we
complete allocating the next request. As the last request is retired, we
queue a timer to mark the device as idle, and promptly have to execute
ad cancel that timer once we complete allocating the request and need to
keep the device awake. If we rearrange the mark_busy() to occur before
we retire the previous request, we can skip this ping-pong.
