drm/i915: Convert the forcewake worker into a timer func
We don't want to suffer scheduling delay when turning off the GPU after
waking it up to touch registers. Ideally, we only want to keep the GPU
awake for the register access sequence, with a single forcewake dance on
the first access and release immediately after the last. We set a timer
on the first access so that we only dance once and on the next scheduler
tick, we drop the forcewake again.
This moves the cleanup routine from the common i915 workqueue to a timer
func so that we don't anger powertop, and drop the forcewake again
quicker.
v2: Enable the deferred force_wake_put for regular register reads as
well.
v3: Beautification and make sure we disable forcewake when shutting
down.
