[PATCH v7 18/26] drm/i915/guc: Consider also RCU depth in busy loop.

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

intel_guc_send_busy_loop() looks at in_atomic() and irqs_disabled() to
decide if it should busy-spin while waiting or if it may sleep.
Both checks will report false on PREEMPT_RT if sleeping spinlocks are
acquired leading to RCU splats while the function sleeps.

Check also if RCU has been disabled.
