drm/i915/gt: Perform an arbitration check before busywaiting



During igt_reset_nop_engine, it was observed that an unexpected failed
engine reset lead to us busywaiting on the stop-ring semaphore (set
during the reset preparations) on the first request afterwards. There was
no explicit MI_ARB_CHECK in this sequence as the presumption was that
the failed MI_SEMAPHORE_WAIT would itself act as an arbitration point.
It did not in this circumstance, so force it.

This patch is based on the assumption that the MI_SEMAPHORE_WAIT failure
to arbitrate is a rare Tigerlake bug, similar to the lite-restore vs
semaphore issues previously seen in the CS. The explicit MI_ARB_CHECK
should always ensure that there is at least one arbitration point in the
request before the MI_SEMAPHORE_WAIT to trigger the IDLE->ACTIVE event.
Upon processing that event, we will clear the stop-ring flag and release
the semaphore from its busywait.
