I guess that's the minimal band aid we can do. Or just add another
i915_semaphore_is_enabled() check with return after the
intel_ring_begin() we already have.

Ben's gen8 semaphore series makes the .signal function pointer optional,
so the check will be in the caller. But extracting just that minimal
part from that patch would be more work.

I don't see any real problem in going with this minimal fix for now, so:
