drm/i915: Accurately track when we mark the hardware as idle/busy
We currently call intel_mark_idle() too often, as we do so as a
side-effect of processing the request queue. However, we the calls to
intel_mark_idle() are expected to be paired with a call to
intel_mark_busy() (or else we try to idle the hardware by accessing
registers that are already disabled). Make the idle/busy tracking
explicit to prevent the multiple calls.
v2: We can drop some of the complexity in __i915_add_request() as
queue_delayed_work() already behaves as we want (not requeuing the item
if it is already in the queue) and mark_busy/mark_idle imply that the
idle task is inactive.
v3: We do still need to cancel the pending idle task so that it is sent
again after the current busy load completes (not in the middle of it).
