Ville Syrjälä 3e038e9d2d drm/i915: Kill check_power_well() calls
commit 7f1241ed1a upstream.

pps_{lock,unlock}() call intel_display_power_{get,put}() outside
pps_mutes to avoid deadlocks with the power_domain mutex. In theory
during aux transfers we should usually have the relevant power domain
references already held by some higher level code, so this should not
result in much overhead (exception being userspace i2c-dev access).
However thanks to the check_power_well() calls in
intel_display_power_{get/put}() we end up doing a few Punit reads for
each aux transfer. Obviously doing this for each byte transferred via
i2c-over-aux is not a good idea.

I can't think of a good way to keep check_power_well() while eliminating
the overhead, so let's just remove check_power_well() entirely.

Fixes a driver init time regression introduced by:

Credit goes to Jani for figuring this out.

v2: Add the regression note in the commit message.
