drm/i915: Use a hybrid scheme for fast register waits
Ville Syrjälä reported that in the majority of wait_for(I915_READ()) he inspect, most completed within the first couple of reads and that the delay between those wait_for() reads was the ratelimiting step for many code paths. For example, __gen6_update_ring_freq() was blamed for slowing down boot by many milliseconds, but under Ville's scrutiny the issue was just excessive delay waiting for sandybridge_pcode_write(). We can eliminate the wait by initially using a busyspin upon the register read and only fallback to the sleeping loop in cases where the hardware is indeed too slow. A threshold of 2 microseconds is used as the initial ballpark. To avoid excessive code bloating from converting every wait_for() into a hybrid busy/sleep loop, we extend wait_for_register_fw() and export it for use by other callers.
