drm/i915/execlists: Unwind incomplete requests on resets
Given the mechanism to unwind and replay requests (designed to support preemption), we have an alternative to the current method of resubmitting the ELSP upon reset. Resubmitting ELSP turns out to be more complicated than expected, due to having to handle lost context-switch interrupts and so guessing what ELSP we need to resubmit later. Instead, by unwinding the requests and clearing the ELSP tracking entirely, we can then just dequeue the first pair of ready requests after resetting, using the normal submission procedure. Currently, the unwound requests have maximum priority and so are guaranteed to be resubmitted upon resume. If we are lucky, we may be able to coalesce a new request on top!
