drm/i915: Kill check_power_well() calls
commit 7f1241ed upstream. pps_{lock,unlock}() call intel_display_power_{get,put}() outside pps_mutes to avoid deadlocks with the power_domain mutex. In theory during aux transfers we should usually have the relevant power domain references already held by some higher level code, so this should not result in much overhead (exception being userspace i2c-dev access). However thanks to the check_power_well() calls in intel_display_power_{get/put}() we end up doing a few Punit reads for each aux transfer. Obviously doing this for each byte transferred via i2c-over-aux is not a good idea. I can't think of a good way to keep check_power_well() while eliminating the overhead, so let's just remove check_power_well() entirely.
