drm/i915: Delay the release of the forcewake by a jiffie
Obtaining the forcwake requires expensive and time consuming serialisation. And we often try to obtain the forcewake multiple times in very quick succession. We can reduce the overhead of these sequences by delaying the forcewake release, and so not hammer the hw quite so hard. I was hoping this would help with the spurious [drm:__gen6_gt_force_wake_mt_get] *ERROR* Timed out waiting for forcewake old ack to clear. found on Haswell. Alas not. v2: Fix teardown ordering - unmap the regs after turning off forcewake, and make sure we do turn off forcewake - both found by Ville. v3: As we introduce intel_uncore_fini(), use it to make sure everything is disabled before we hand back to the BIOS. Note: I have no claims for improved performance, stablity or power comsumption for this patch. We should not be hitting the registers often enough for this to improve benchmarks, but given the nature of our hw it is likely to improve long term stability.
