drm/i915/gt: Add dedicated MCR lock
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.
