drm/i915/gt: Adapt engine_park synchronisation rules for engine_retire



In the next patch, we will introduce a new asynchronous retirement
worker, fed by execlists CS events. Here we may queue a retirement as
soon as a request is submitted to HW (and completes instantly), and we
also want to process that retirement as early as possible and cannot
afford to postpone (as there may not be another opportunity to retire it
for a few seconds). To allow the new async retirer to run in parallel
with our submission, pull the __i915_request_queue (that passes the
request to HW) inside the timelines spinlock so that the retirement
cannot release the timeline before we have completed the submission.

v2: Actually to play nicely with engine_retire, we have to raise the
timeline.active_lock before releasing the HW. intel_gt_retire_requsts()
is still serialised by the outer lock so they cannot see this
intermediate state, and engine_retire is serialised by HW submission.
