[Intel-gfx] [CI 03/13] drm/i915/execlists: Skip a lite-restore immediately prior to a context-completion

[Chris Wilson]

If we are about to do another context-switch in the near future skip
doing performing a lite-restore now. (Forcing a lite-restore just before
a context-switch effectively doubles the cost of that context-switch, so
long as we can handle the interrupt and resubmit before the GPU powers
down, which under normal conditions is expected.)
