Subject: drm/i915: disable PSR by default on HSW/BDW

From: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni@intel.com>

commit 1c4672ce4eeaeaadeea8adabaad21262b7172607 upstream.

We've been ignoring the poor bugzilla reporters that say PSR causes
system lockups and all other sorts of problems. The earliest bug
report is from April, so I think we can use the "revert the offending
commit if no fixes are presented within 8 months" rule here.
