[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/6] drm/i915/execlists: Suppress preempting self

[Chris Wilson]

In order to avoid preempting ourselves, we currently refuse to schedule
the tasklet if we reschedule an inflight context. However, this glosses
over a few issues such as what happens after a CS completion event and
we then preempt the newly executing context with itself, or if something
else causes a tasklet_schedule triggering the same evaluation to
preempt the active context with itself.

To avoid the extra complications, after deciding that we have
potentially queued a request with higher priority than the currently
executing request, inspect the head of the queue to see if it is indeed
higher priority from another context.
