[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 11/11] drm/i915: Prioritise non-busywait semaphore workloads

[Chris Wilson]

We don't want to busywait on the GPU if we have other work to do. If we
give non-busywaiting workloads higher (initial) priority than workloads
that require a busywait, we will prioritise work that is ready to run
immediately.

Testcase: igt/gem_exec_schedule/semaphore
