drm/i915/gt: Prefer soft-rc6 over RPS DOWN_TIMEOUT
The RPS DOWN_TIMEOUT interrupt is signaled after a period of rc6, and upon receipt of that interrupt we reprogram the GPU clocks down to the next idle notch [to help convserve power during rc6]. However, on execlists, we benefit from soft-rc6 immediately parking the GPU and setting idle frequencies upon idling [within a jiffie], and here the interrupt prevents us from restarting from our last frequency. In the process, we can simply opt for a static pm_events mask and rely on the enable/disable interrupts to flush the worker on parking. This will reduce the amount of oscillation observed during steady workloads with microsleeps, as each time the rc6 timeout occurs we immediately follow with a waitboost for a dropped frame.
