Replace the racy continuation check within retire_work with a definite
kill-switch on idling. The race was being exposed by gem_concurrent_blit
where the retire_worker would be terminated too early leaving us
spinning in debugfs/i915_drop_caches with nothing flushing the
retirement queue.
Although that the igt is trying to idle from one child while submitting
from another may be a contributing factor as to why it runs so slowly...
v2: Use the non-sync version of cancel_delayed_work(), we only need to
stop it from being scheduled as we independently check whether now is
the right time to be parking.

The original intent for the delay before running the idle_work was to
provide a hysteresis to avoid ping-ponging the device runtime-pm. Since
then we have also pulled in some memory management and general device
management for parking. But with the inversion of the wakeref handling,
GEM is no longer responsible for the wakeref and by the time we call the
idle_work, the device is asleep. It seems appropriate now to drop the
delay and just run the worker immediately to flush the cached GEM state
before sleeping.

Drop the check in GEM parking that the engines were already parked. The
intention here was that before we dropped the GT wakeref, we were sure
that no more interrupts could be raised -- however, we have already
dropped the wakeref by this point and the warning is no longer valid.

In the current scheme, on submitting a request we take a single global
GEM wakeref, which trickles down to wake up all GT power domains. This
is undesirable as we would like to be able to localise our power
management to the available power domains and to remove the global GEM
operations from the heart of the driver. (The intent there is to push
global GEM decisions to the boundary as used by the GEM user interface.)
Now during request construction, each request is responsible via its
logical context to acquire a wakeref on each power domain it intends to
utilize. Currently, each request takes a wakeref on the engine(s) and
the engines themselves take a chipset wakeref. This gives us a
transition on each engine which we can extend if we want to insert more
powermangement control (such as soft rc6). The global GEM operations
that currently require a struct_mutex are reduced to listening to pm
events from the chipset GT wakeref. As we reduce the struct_mutex
requirement, these listeners should evaporate.
Perhaps the biggest immediate change is that this removes the
struct_mutex requirement around GT power management, allowing us greater
flexibility in request construction. Another important knock-on effect,
is that by tracking engine usage, we can insert a switch back to the
kernel context on that engine immediately, avoiding any extra delay or
inserting global synchronisation barriers. This makes tracking when an
engine and its associated contexts are idle much easier -- important for
when we forgo our assumed execution ordering and need idle barriers to
unpin used contexts. In the process, it means we remove a large chunk of
code whose only purpose was to switch back to the kernel context.
