This provides a nice boost to mesa in swap bound scenarios (as mesa
throttles itself to the previous frame and given the scenario that will
complete shortly). It will also provide a good boost to systems running
with semaphores disabled and so frequently waiting on the GPU as it
switches rings. In the most favourable of microbenchmarks, this can
increase performance by around 15% - though in practice improvements
will be marginal and rarely noticeable.
v2: Account for user timeouts
v3: Limit the spinning to a single jiffie (~1us) at most. On an
otherwise idle system, there is no scheduler contention and so without a
limit we would spin until the GPU is ready.
v4: Drop forcewake - the lazy coherent access doesn't require it, and we
have no reason to believe that the forcewake itself improves seqno
coherency - it only adds delay.
