drm/i915: Hold forcewake for the duration of reset+restart
Resetting the engine requires us to hold the forcewake wakeref to prevent RC6 trying to happen in the middle of the reset sequence. The consequence of an unwanted RC6 event in the middle is that random state is then saved to the powercontext and restored later, which may overwrite the mmio state we need to preserve (e.g. PD_DIR_BASE in the legacy ringbuffer reset_ring_common()). This was noticed in the live_hangcheck selftests when Haswell would sporadically fail to restart during igt_reset_queue().
