Chris Wilson 5d031e5b63 drm/i915: Remove use of the autoreported ringbuffer HEAD position 
This is a revert of 6aa56062ea.

This was originally introduced to workaround reads of the ringbuffer
registers returning 0 on SandyBridge causing hangs due to ringbuffer
overflow. The root cause here was reads through the GT powerwell require
the forcewake dance, something we only learnt of later. Now it appears
that reading the reported head position from the HWS is returning
garbage, leading once again to hangs.

For example, on q35 the autoreported head reports:
  [  217.975608] head now 00010000, actual 00010000
  [  436.725613] head now 00200000, actual 00200000
  [  462.956033] head now 00210000, actual 00210010
  [  485.501409] head now 00400000, actual 00400020
  [  508.064280] head now 00410000, actual 00410000
  [  530.576078] head now 00600000, actual 00600020
  [  553.273489] head now 00610000, actual 00610018
which appears reasonably sane. In contrast, if we look at snb:
  [  141.970680] head now 00e10000, actual 00008238
  [  141.974062] head now 02734000, actual 000083c8
  [  141.974425] head now 00e10000, actual 00008488
  [  141.980374] head now 032b5000, actual 000088b8
  [  141.980885] head now 03271000, actual 00008950
  [  142.040628] head now 02101000, actual 00008b40
  [  142.180173] head now 02734000, actual 00009050
  [  142.181090] head now 00000000, actual 00000ae0
  [  142.183737] head now 02734000, actual 00009050

In addition, the automatic reporting of the head position is scheduled
to be defeatured in the future. It has no more utility, remove it.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
