drm/i915/pmu: Ensure monotonic rc6



Avoid rc6 counter going backward in close to 0% RC6 scenarios like:

    15.005477996        114,246,613 ns   i915/rc6-residency/
    16.005876662            667,657 ns   i915/rc6-residency/
    17.006131417              7,286 ns   i915/rc6-residency/
    18.006615031 18,446,744,073,708,914,688 ns   i915/rc6-residency/
    19.007158361 18,446,744,073,709,447,168 ns   i915/rc6-residency/
    20.007806498                  0 ns   i915/rc6-residency/
    21.008227495          1,440,403 ns   i915/rc6-residency/

There are two aspects to this fix.

First is not assuming rc6 value zero means GT is asleep since that can
also mean GPU is fully busy and we do not want to enter the estimation
path in that case.

Second is ensuring monotonicity on the estimation path itself. I suspect
what is happening is with extremely rapid park/unpark cycles we get no
updates on the real rc6 and therefore have to careful not to
unconditionally trust use last known real rc6 when creating a new
estimation.

v2:
 * Simplify logic by not tracking the estimate but last reported value.
