You can pull out gen9 rc6 as well, and apply a similar transformation to
gen6-8. So instead of putting the if-chain in
intel_enable_gt_powersave(), add intel_enable_rc6() and start placing
the ready functions there.

Reviewing the comments we only need the rpm lock until after rc6
enabling and as you keep that wakelock, you are not getting the full
improvement you seek. If you keep refactoring the remaining two rc6
functions, you can then drop the wakelock.
