[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v9 5/7] drm/i915/perf: lock powergating configuration to default when active

If some of the contexts submitting workloads to the GPU have been
configured to shutdown slices/subslices, we might loose the NOA
configurations written in the NOA muxes.

One possible solution to this problem is to reprogram the NOA muxes
when we switch to a new context. We initially tried this in the
workaround batchbuffer but some concerns where raised about the cost
of reprogramming at every context switch. This solution is also not
without consequences from the userspace point of view. Reprogramming
of the muxes can only happen once the powergating configuration has
changed (which happens after context switch). This means for a window
of time during the recording, counters recorded by the OA unit might
be invalid. This requires userspace dealing with OA reports to discard
the invalid values.

Minimizing the reprogramming could be implemented by tracking of the
last programmed configuration somewhere in GGTT and use MI_PREDICATE
to discard some of the programming commands, but the command streamer
would still have to parse all the MI_LRI instructions in the
workaround batchbuffer.

Another solution, which this change implements, is to simply disregard
the user requested configuration for the period of time when i915/perf
is active. There is no known issue with this apart from a performance
penality for some media workloads that benefit from running on a
partially powergated GPU. We already prevent RC6 from affecting the
programming so it doesn't sound completely unreasonable to hold on
powergating for the same reason.

v2: Leave RPCS programming in intel_lrc.c (Lionel)

v3: Update for s/union intel_sseu/struct intel_sseu/ (Lionel)
    More to_intel_context() (Tvrtko)
    s/dev_priv/i915/ (Tvrtko)
