drm/i915: Avoid waitboosting on the active request

Browse Source 
Watching a light workload on Baytrail (running glxgears and a 1080p
decode), instead of the system remaining at low frequency, the glxgears
would regularly trigger waitboosting after which it would have to spend
a few seconds throttling back down. In this case, the waitboosting is
counter productive as the minimal wait for glxgears doesn't prevent it
from functioning correctly and delivering frames on time. In this case,
glxgears happens to almost always be waiting on the current request,
which we already expect to complete quickly (see i915_spin_request) and
so avoiding the waitboost on the active request and spinning instead
provides the best latency without overcommitting to upclocking.
However, if the system falls behind we still force the waitboost.
Similarly, we will also trigger upclocking if we detect the system is
not delivering frames on time - again using a mechanism that tries to
detect a miss and not preemptively upclock.

v2: Also skip boosting for after missed vblank if the desired request is
already active.
