[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2 2/2] drm/i915: Delay disabling the user interrupt for breadcrumbs

A significant cost in setting up a wait is the overhead of enabling the
interrupt. As we disable the interrupt whenever the queue of waiters is
empty, if we are frequently waiting on alternating batches, we end up
re-enabling the interrupt on a frequent basis. We do want to disable the
interrupt during normal operations as under high load it may add several
thousand interrupts/s - we have been known in the past to occupy whole
cores with our interrupt handler after accidentally leaving user
interrupts enabled. As a compromise, leave the interrupt enabled until
the next IRQ, or the system is idle. This gives a small window for a
waiter to keep the interrupt active and not be delayed by having to
re-enable the interrupt.

v2: Restore hangcheck/missed-irq detection for continuations
