[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Park faster to alleviate kept forcewake

To avoid context corruption on some gens, we need to hold forcewake
for long periods of time. This leads to increased energy expenditure
for mostly idle workloads.

To combat the increased power consumption, park GPU more hastily.

As the HW isn't so quick to end up in rc6, this software mechanism
supplements it. So we can apply it, across all gens.
