[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Disable semaphore inter-engine sync without timeslicing

Since the remove of the no-semaphore boosting, we rely on timeslicing to
reorder past inter-dependency hogs across the engines. However, we
require preemption to support timeslicing into user payloads, and not all
machine support preemption so we do not universally enable timeslicing
even when it would preempt our own inter-engine semaphores.

Testcase: igt/gem_exec_schedule/semaphore-codependency # bdw/bsw
Fixes: 18e4af04d218 ("drm/i915: Drop no-semaphore boosting")
