drm/i915: Always run hangcheck while the GPU is busy
Previously, we relied on only running the hangcheck while somebody was waiting on the GPU, in order to minimise the amount of time hangcheck had to run. (If nobody was watching the GPU, nobody would notice if the GPU wasn't responding -- eventually somebody would care and so kick hangcheck into action.) However, this falls apart from around commit 4680816b ("drm/i915: Wait first for submission, before waiting for request completion"), as not all waiters declare themselves to hangcheck and so we could switch off hangcheck and miss GPU hangs even when waiting under the struct_mutex. If we enable hangcheck from the first request submission, and let it run until the GPU is idle again, we forgo all the complexity involved with only enabling around waiters. We just have to remember to be careful that we do not declare a GPU hang when idly waiting for the next request to be come ready, as we will run hangcheck continuously even when the engines are stalled waiting for external events. This should be true already as we should only be tracking requests submitted to hardware for execution as an indicator that the engine is busy.
