    drm/i915: add poweroff_late handler

The problem seems to be that after the kernel puts the device into D3
the BIOS still tries to access it, or otherwise assumes that it's in D0.
This is clearly bogus, since ACPI mandates that devices are put into D3
by the OSPM if they are not wake-up sources. In the future we want to
unify more of the driver's runtime and system suspend paths, for example
by skipping all the system suspend/hibernation hooks if the device is
runtime suspended already. Accordingly for all other platforms the goal
is still to properly power down the device during hibernation.

v2:
- Another GEN4 Lenovo laptop had the same issue, while platforms from
  other vendors (including mobile and desktop, GEN4 and non-GEN4) seem
  to work fine. Based on this apply the workaround on all GEN4 Lenovo
  platforms.
- add code comment about failing platforms (Ville)
