drm/i915: Inline sg_next() for the optimised SGL iterator Avoiding the out-of-line call to sg_next() reduces the kernel execution overhead by 10% in some workloads (for example the Unreal Engine 4 demo Atlantis on 2GiB GTTs) which are dominated by the cost of inserting PTEs due to texture thrashing. We can demonstrate this in a microbenchmark that forces us to rebind the object on every execbuf, where we can measure a 25% improvement, in the time required to execute an execbuf requiring a texture to be rebound, for inlining the sg_next() for large texture sizes.
