[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Avoid waking the engines just to check if they are idle

Exploit that reads of the ring registers return 0 from the engine when
it is idle and we do not apply forcewake to know that if the engine is
idle then both reads will be identical (and so we interpret the ring as
idle).

The ulterior motive is to try and reduce the number of spurious wakeups
to avoid untimely death, such as:
