[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 7/8] drm/i915/pmu: Wire up engine busy stats to PMU

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

We can use engine busy stats instead of the MMIO sampling timer
for better efficiency.

As minimum this saves period * num_engines / sec mmio reads,
and in a better case, when only engine busy samplers are active,
it enables us to not kick off the sampling timer at all.

v2: Rebase.
v3:
 * Rebase, comments.
 * Leave engine busyness controls out of workers.
v4: Checkpatch cleanup.
v5: Added comment to pmu_needs_timer change.
v6:
 * Rebase.
 * Fix style of some comments. (Chris Wilson)
