drm/i915: Workaround to avoid lite restore with HEAD==TAIL
WaIdleLiteRestore is an execlists-only workaround, and requires the driver to ensure that any context always has HEAD!=TAIL when attempting lite restore. Add two extra MI_NOOP instructions at the end of each request, but keep the requests tail pointing before the MI_NOOPs. We may not need to executed them, and this is why request->tail is sampled before adding these extra instructions. If we submit a context to the ELSP which has previously been submitted, move the tail pointer past the MI_NOOPs. This ensures HEAD!=TAIL. v2: Move overallocation to gen8_emit_request, and added note about sampling request->tail in commit message (Chris). v3: Remove redundant request->tail assignment in __i915_add_request, in lrc mode this is already set in execlists_context_queue. Do not add wa implementation details inside gem (Chris). v4: Apply the wa whenever the req has been resubmitted and update comment (Chris).
