drm/i915: Enable i915_gem_wait_for_idle() without holding struct_mutex

Browse source 
The principal motivation for this was to try and eliminate the
struct_mutex from i915_gem_suspend - but we still need to hold the mutex
current for the i915_gem_context_lost(). (The issue there is that there
may be an indirect lockdep cycle between cpu_hotplug (i.e. suspend) and
struct_mutex via the stop_machine().) For the moment, enabling last
request tracking for the engine, allows us to do busyness checking and
waiting without requiring the struct_mutex - which is useful in its own
right.

As a side-effect of having a robust means for tracking engine busyness,
we can replace our other busyness heuristic, that of comparing against
the last submitted seqno. For paranoid reasons, we have a semi-ordered
check of that seqno inside the hangchecker, which we can now improve to
an ordered check of the engine's busyness (removing a locked xchg in the
process).

v2: Pass along "bool interruptible" as being unlocked we cannot rely on
i915->mm.interruptible being stable or even under our control.
v3: Replace check Ironlake i915_gpu_busy() with the common precalculated value
