[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 02/10] drm/i915/gt: Skip over completed active execlists, again

[Chris Wilson]

Now that we are careful to always force-restore contexts upon rewinding
(where necessary), we can restore our optimisation to skip over
completed active execlists when dequeuing.

Referenecs: 35f3fd8182ba ("drm/i915/execlists: Workaround switching back to a completed context")
