[Intel-gfx] [CI] drm/i915: Reduce i915_request_alloc retirement to local context

[Chris Wilson]

In the continual quest to reduce the amount of global work required when
submitting requests, replace i915_retire_requests() after allocation
failure to retiring just our ring.

v2: Don't forget the list iteration included an early break, so we would
never throttle on the last request in the ring/timeline.
v3: Use the common ring_retire_requests()
