[Intel-gfx] [RFC 7/8] drm/i915: Skip CSB processing on invalid CSB tail

From: Jeff McGee <jeff.mcgee at intel.com>

Engine reset is fast. A context switch interrupt may be generated just
prior to the reset such that the top half handler is racing with reset
post-processing. The handler may set the irq_posted bit again after
the reset code has cleared it to start fresh. Then the re-enabled
tasklet will read the CSB head and tail from MMIO, which will be at
the hardware reset values of 0 and 7 respectively, given that no
actual CSB event has occurred since the reset. Mayhem then ensues as
the tasklet starts processing invalid CSB entries.

We can handle this corner case without adding any new synchronization
between the irq top half and the reset work item. The tasklet can
just skip CSB processing if the tail is not sane.
