    drm/i915/gt: Add dedicated MCR lock · 4186e218
    Matt Roper authored
    We've been overloading uncore->lock to protect access to the MCR
    steering register.  That's not really what uncore->lock is intended for,
    and it would be better if we didn't need to hold such a high-traffic
    spinlock for the whole sequence of (apply steering, access MCR register,
    restore steering).  Let's create a dedicated MCR lock to protect the
    steering control register over this critical section and stop relying on
    the high-traffic uncore->lock.
    
    For now the new lock is a software lock.  However some platforms (MTL
    and beyond) have a hardware-provided locking mechanism that can be used
    to serialize not only software accesses, but also hardware/firmware
    accesses as well; support for that hardware level lock will be added in
    a future patch.
    
    v2:
     - Use irqsave/irqrestore spinlock calls; platforms using execlist
       submission rather than GuC submission can perform MCR accesses in
       interrupt context because reset -> errordump happens in a tasklet.
