[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 20/42] drm/i915/gt: Resubmit the virtual engine on schedule-out

Having recognised that we do not change the sibling until we schedule
out, we can then defer the decision to resubmit the virtual engine from
the unwind of the active queue to scheduling out of the virtual context.
By keeping the unwind order intact on the local engine, we can preserve
data dependency ordering while doing a preempt-to-busy pass until we
have determined the new ELSP. This means that if we try to timeslice
between a virtual engine and a data-dependent ordinary request, the pair
will maintain their relative ordering and we will avoid the
resubmission, cancelling the timeslicing until further change.
The dilemma though is that we then may end up in a situation where the
'demotion' of the virtual request to an ordinary request in the engine
queue results in filling the ELSP[] with virtual requests instead of
spreading the load across the engines. To compensate for this, we mark
each virtual request and refuse to resubmit a virtual request in the
secondary ELSP slots, thus forcing subsequent virtual requests to be
scheduled out after timeslicing. By delaying the decision until we
schedule out, we will avoid unnecessary resubmission.
