drm/i915/chv: Make CHV irq handler loop until all interrupts are consumed
as under continuous execlists load we can saturate the IRQ handler,
destablising the tsc clock and triggering the NMI watchdog to declare a hung
CPU.

However, not servicing all available IIR within the handler does hurt the
throughput of pathological nop execbuf by about 20%, with a similar effect
upon the dispatch latency of a series of execbuf.
v2: use do {} while(0) for a smaller patch, and easier to revert again
I have reasonable confidence that we do not miss GT interrupts (as
execlists provides a stress case with a failure mechanism easily
detected by igt), however I have less confidence about all the other
sources of interrupts and worry that may lose a display hotplug
interrupt, for example.
