[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/psr: Fix race in intel_psr_work()

commit 5422b37c907e ("drm/i915/psr: Kill delays when activating psr
back.") switched from delayed work to the plain variant and while doing so
remove the check for work_busy() before scheduling a PSR activation.
This appears to cause consecutive executions of psr_activate() in this
scenario - after a worker picks up the PSR work item for execution and
before the work function can acquire the PSR mutex, a psr_flush() can
get hold of the mutex and schedule another PSR work. Without a psr_exit()
between two psr_activate() calls, the warning messages get printed.
Further, since we drop the mutex in the midst of psr_work() to wait for
PSR to idle, another work item can also get scheduled. Fix this by
returning if PSR was already active.

Note:
I am not 100% sure this is what is going on as I could not reproduce
the bug (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106948)

This patch sort of defeats the point of the WARN_ON()s in psr_activate()
now, do we still need them?
