[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 9/9] drm/i915/gt: Restore aggressive post-boost downclocking

[Chris Wilson]

We reduced the clocks slowly after a boost event based on the
observation that the smoothness of animations suffered. However, since
reducing the evalution intervals, we should be able to respond to the
rapidly fluctuating workload of a simple desktop animation and so
restore the more aggressive downclocking.
