drm/i915: Deminish contribution of wait-boosting from clients
we removed an atomic timer based check for allowing waitboosting and
moved it below the mutex taken during RPS. However, that mutex can be
held for long periods of time on Vallyview/Cherryview as communication
with the PCU is slow. As clients may frequently wait for results (e.g.
such as tranform feedback) we introduced contention between the client
and the RPS worker. We can take advantage of the RPS worker, by
switching the wait boost decision to use spin locks and defer the
actual reclocking to the worker.
Fixes a regression of up to 45% on Baytrail and Baswell!
v2 (Daniel):
- Use max_freq_softlimit instead of the not-yet-merged boost
frequency.
- Don't inject a fake irq into the boost work, instead treat
client_boost as just another legit waker.
v3: Drop the now unused mask (Chris).
