drm/xe: Do not preempt fence signaling CS instructions

Browse source

[ Upstream commit cdc8a1e11f ]

If a batch buffer is complete, it makes little sense to preempt the
fence signaling instructions in the ring, as the largest portion of the
work (the batch buffer) is already done and fence signaling consists of
only a few instructions. If these instructions are preempted, the GuC
would need to perform a context switch just to signal the fence, which
is costly and delays fence signaling. Avoid this scenario by disabling
preemption immediately after the BB start instruction and re-enabling it
after executing the fence signaling instructions.
