drm/i915: forcewake fix after reset



The failure is as follows:

1. Userspace gets forcewake lock, lock count >=1
2. GPU hang/reset occurs (forcewake bit is reset)
3. count is now incorrect

The failure can only occur when using the forcewake userspace lock.

This has the unfortunate consequence of messing up the driver as well as
userspace, unless userspace closes the debugfs file, the kernel will
never end up waking the GT since the refcount will be > 1.

The solution is to try to recover the correct forcewake state based on
the refcount. There is a period of time where userspace reads/writes may
occur after the reset, before the GT has been forcewaked. The interface
was never designed to be a perfect solution for userspace reads/writes,
and the kernel portion is fixed by this patch.
