[PATCH 4/4] drm/intel: Push get_scanout_position() timestamping into kms driver.

[Mario Kleiner <mario.kleiner.de@gmail.com>]

Move the ktime_get() clock readouts and potential preempt_disable()
calls from drm core into kms driver to make it compatible with the
api changes in the drm core.

The intel-kms driver needs to take the uncore.lock inside
i915_get_crtc_scanoutpos() and intel_pipe_in_vblank().
This is incompatible with the preempt_disable() on a
PREEMPT_RT patched kernel, as regular spin locks must not
be taken within a preempt_disable'd section. Lock contention
on the uncore.lock also introduced too much uncertainty in vblank
timestamps.

Push the ktime_get() timestamping for scanoutpos queries and
potential preempt_disable_rt() into i915_get_crtc_scanoutpos(),
so these problems can be avoided:

1. First lock the uncore.lock (might sleep on a PREEMPT_RT kernel).
2. preempt_disable_rt() (will be added by the rt-linux folks).
3. ktime_get() a timestamp before scanout pos query.
4. Do all mmio reads as fast as possible without grabbing any new locks!
5. ktime_get() a post-query timestamp.
6. preempt_enable_rt()
7. Unlock the uncore.lock.

This reduces timestamp uncertainty on a low-end HP Atom Mini netbook
with Intel GMA-950 nicely:

Before: 3-8 usecs with spikes > 20 usecs, triggering query retries.
After : Typically 1 usec (98% of all samples), occassionally 2 usecs
        (2% of all samples), with maximum of 3 usecs (a handful).

v2: Fix formatting of new multi-line code comments.
