Move into queue_request so it is closer to priolist management, just like at other call sites?

Also, these are all under the engine active lock so non-atomic set/clear could be used, no?

Not shown in this diff before this if block we have:

	if (list_empty(&node->link)) {
		/*
		 * If the request is not in the priolist queue because
		 * it is not yet runnable, then it doesn't contribute
		 * to our preemption decisions. On the other hand,
		 * if the request is on the HW, it too is not in the
		 * queue; but in that case we may still need to reorder
		 * the inflight requests.
		 */
		continue;
	}

What is the difference between list_empty(&node->link) and !i915_request_in_priority_queue?
