[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 3/5] drm/i915/gt: Only retire on the last breadcrumb if the last request

[Chris Wilson]

We use the completion of the last active breadcrumb to retire the
requests along a timeline. This is purely opportunistic as nothing
guarantees that any particular timeline is terminated by a breadcrumb;
except for the parking the engine. We explicitly add a breadcrumb to
parking the engine so that we park quickly and do an explicit retire
upon signaling to reduce the latency dramatically.

With scheduling, we anticipate retiring completed timelines as a matter
of course. Performing the same action from inside the breadcrumbs is
intended to provide similar functionality for legacy ringbuffer
submission.
