drm/i915: Only spin whilst waiting on the current request

commit 0f0cd472 upstream.

Limit busywaiting only to the request currently being processed by the
GPU. If the request is not currently being processed by the GPU, there
is a very low likelihood of it being completed within the 2 microsecond
spin timeout and so we will just be wasting CPU cycles.

v2: Check for logical inversion when rebasing - we were incorrectly
checking for this request being active, and instead busywaiting for
when the GPU was not yet processing the request of interest.

v3: Try another colour for the seqno names.
v4: Another colour for the function names.

v5: Remove the forced coherency when checking for the active request. On
reflection and plenty of recent experimentation, the issue is not a
cache coherency problem - but an irq/seqno ordering problem (timing issue).
Here, we do not need the w/a to force ordering of the read with an
interrupt.
