drm/i915/pmu: Wire up engine busy stats to PMU
We can use engine busy stats instead of the sampling timer for better accuracy. By doing this we replace the stohastic sampling with busyness metric derived directly from engine activity. This is context switch interrupt driven, so as accurate as we can get from software tracking. As a secondary benefit, we can also not run the sampling timer in cases only busyness metric is enabled. v2: Rebase. v3: * Rebase, comments. * Leave engine busyness controls out of workers. v4: Checkpatch cleanup. v5: Added comment to pmu_needs_timer change. v6: * Rebase. * Fix style of some comments. (Chris Wilson) v7: Rebase and commit message update. (Chris Wilson) v8: Add delayed stats disabling to improve accuracy in face of CPU hotplug events. v9: Rebase. v10: Rebase - i915_modparams.enable_execlists removal.
