On SNB (at least) it's dangeruopus to hang the GPU with an infinite
batch buffer loop while RPS is disabled. The only thing that keeps
the system going in such circumstances are the internal RPS timers,
so we should never feed the GPU with RPS disabled unless we want to
risk a total system hang.
Previously we didn't fully disable RPS, but that changes in
commit 2030d684f7b3 ("drm/i915/bxt: Explicitly clear the Turbo control register")
so we probably didn't see the problem so often previously. But
even before that we were at the mercy of the BIOS for the initial
RPS state, so if the BIOS didn't enable RPS a GPU hang immediately
upon boot could have been fatal.
To avoid the problems let's just make the RPS enable immediate.
This renders the delayed_resume_work useless actually. We could perhaps
just move the ring freq table initialization to the work and do the
other stull synchronously?

This is more and RFC at this point. Perhaps we might want to keep the delayed
work but just for the ring freq table update (which is the main reson this whole
thing exists in the first place). Another factor is that wait_for() is not
exactly optiomal currently, so it makes the operation slower than it needs to
be. Would need some hard numbers to see if it's worth keeping the delayed work
or not I suppose.
