Daniel Vetter 6005ce4243 drm/i915: close tiny race in the ilk pcu even interrupt setup
By the time we write DEIER in the postinstall hook the interrupt
handler could run any time. And it does modify DEIER to handle
interrupts.

Hence the DEIER read-modify-write cycle for enabling the PCU event
source is racy. Close this races the same way we handle vblank
interrupts: Unconditionally enable the interrupt in the IER register,
but conditionally mask it in IMR. The later poses no such race since
the interrupt handler does not touch DEIMR.

Also update the comment, the clearing has already happened
unconditionally above.

v2: Actually shove the updated comment into the right train^W commit,
as spotted by Paulo.
