[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Dampen RPS slow start

[Chris Wilson]

Currently, we note congestion for the slow start ramping up of RPS only
when we overshoot the target workload and have to reverse direction for
our reclocking. That is, if we have a period where the current GPU
frequency is enough to sustain the workload within our target
utilisation, we should not trigger any RPS EI interrupts, and then may
continue again with the previous last_adj after multiple periods causing
us to dramatically overreact. To prevent us not noticing a period where
the system is behaving correctly, we can schedule an extra interrupt
that will not be associated with either an up or down event causing to
reset last_adj back to zero, cancelling the slow start due to the
congestion.

v2: Separate up/down EI
