drm/i915/gt: Make timeslice duration configurable

Execlists uses a scheduling quantum (a timeslice) to alternate execution
between ready-to-run contexts of equal priority. This ensures that all
users (though only if they of equal importance) have the opportunity to
run and prevents livelocks where contexts may have implicit ordering due
to userspace semaphores. However, not all workloads necessarily benefit
from timeslicing and in the extreme some sysadmin may want to disable or
reduce the timeslicing granularity.

The timeslicing mechanism can be compiled out^W^W disabled (but should
DCE!) with

	./scripts/config --set-val DRM_I915_TIMESLICE_DURATION 0

that the reset itself may take longer and so be more disruptive to
interactive or low latency workloads.
config DRM_I915_TIMESLICE_DURATION
int "Scheduling quantum for userspace batches (ms, jiffy granularity)"
default 1 # milliseconds
help
When two user batches of equal priority are executing, we will
alternate execution of each batch to ensure forward progress of
all users. This is necessary in some cases where there may be
an implicit dependency between those batches that requires
concurrent execution in order for them to proceed, e.g. they
interact with each other via userspace semaphores. Each context
is scheduled for execution for the timeslice duration, before
switching to the next context.
May be 0 to disable timeslicing.
