drm/xe: Always check force_wake_get return code

Browse source 
A force_wake_get failure means that the HW might not be awake for the
access we're doing; this can lead to an immediate error or it can be a
more subtle problem (e.g. a register read might return an incorrect
value that is still valid, leading the driver to make a wrong choice
instead of flagging an error).
We avoid an error from the force_wake function because callers might
handle or tolerate the error, but this only works if all callers
are checking the error code. The majority already do, but a few are not.
These are mainly falling into 3 categories, which are each handled
differently:

1) error capture: in this case we want to continue the capture, but we
   log an info message in dmesg to notify the user that the capture
   might have incorrect data.

2) ioctl: in this case we return a -EIO error to userspace

3) unabortable actions: these are scenarios where we can't simply abort
   and retry and so it's better to just try it anyway because there is a
   chance the HW is awake even with the failure. In this case we throw a
   warning so we know there was a forcewake problem if something fails
   down the line.

v2: use gt_WARN_ON where appropriate
