[PATCH 1/2] drm/i915: Do not return stale status / remove impossible WARN

[Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@linux.intel.com>]

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com>

Only caller to get_context_status ensures read pointer stays in
range so the WARN is impossible. Also, if the WARN would be
triggered by a hypothetical new caller stale status would be
returned to them.

Maybe it is better to wrap the pointer in the function itself
then to avoid both and even results in smaller code.
