[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/2] drm/i915: Add short HPD IRQ storm detection for non-MST systems

Unfortunately, it seems that the HPD IRQ storm problem from the early
days of Intel GPUs was never entirely solved, only mostly. Within the
last couple of days, I got a bug report from one of our customers who
had been having issues with their machine suddenly booting up very
slowly after having updated. The amount of time it took to boot went
from around 30 seconds, to over 6 minutes consistently.

After some investigation, I discovered that i915 was reporting massive
amounts of short HPD IRQ spam on this system from the DisplayPort port,
despite there not being anything actually connected. The symptoms would
start with one "long" HPD IRQ being detected at boot:

[    1.891398] [drm:intel_get_hpd_pins [i915]] hotplug event received, stat 0x00440000, dig 0x00440000, pins 0x000000a0

[    1.891628] [drm:intel_dp_hpd_pulse [i915]] got hpd irq on port D - long
…

followed by constant short IRQs afterwards:

The customer's system in question has a GM45 GPU, which is apparently
well known for hotplugging storms.

So, workaround this impressively broken hardware by detecting short IRQ
storms using a separate threshold and count, one that is much higher
then the threshold for long IRQs. We default to a threshold of 50 short
pulses within the timespan of a second, which should amount to about
100ms of constant pulsing. This should be a good middle ground between
avoiding detecting false IRQ storms, while still catching short IRQ
storms quickly enough to minimize the amount of time we'll stutter every
time hotplugging gets re-enabled and immediately disabled by another
short IRQ storm.

And just to be extra safe: we don't enable this by default on systems
with MST support. There's too high of a chance of MST support triggering
storm detection, and systems that are new enough to support MST are a
lot less likely to have issues with IRQ storms anyway.

As a note: this patch was tested using a ThinkPad T450s and a Chamelium
to simulate the short IRQ storms.
