Subject: drm/i915: Dont enable CS_PARSER_ERROR interrupts at all

From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>

commit 37ef01ab5d24d1d520dc79f6a98099d451c2a901 upstream.

We stopped handling them in

commit aaecdf611a05cac26a94713bad25297e60225c29

    drm/i915: Stop gathering error states for CS error interrupts

but just clearing is apparently not enough: A sufficiently dead gpu
left behind by firmware (*cough* coreboot *cough*) can keep the gpu in
an endless loop of such interrupts, eventually leading to the nmi
firing. And definitely to what looks like a machine hang.

Since we don't even enable these interrupts on gen5+ let's do the same
on earlier platforms.
