drm/i915/bdw: Ack interrupts before handling them (GEN8)
Otherwise, we might receive a new interrupt before we have time to
ack the first one, eventually missing it.
The right order should be:
1 - Disable Master Interrupt Control.
2 - Find the category of interrupt that is pending.
3 - Find the source(s) of the interrupt and clear the Interrupt Identity bits (IIR)
4 - Process the interrupt(s) that had bits set in the IIRs.
5 - Re-enable Master Interrupt Control.
Without an atomic XCHG operation with mmio space, the above merely reduces the window
in which we can miss an interrupt (especially when you consider how heavyweight the
I915_READ/I915_WRITE operations are).
