drm/i915: sanity check IER at wait_request time
We might sleep here anyway so I hope an extra uncached read is ok to add. In #20896 we found that vbetool clobbers the IER. In KMS mode this is particularly bad since we don't set the interrupt regs late (in EnterVT), so we'd fail to get *any* interrupts at all after X started (since some distros have scripts that call vbetool at X startup apparently). So this patch checks IER at wait_request time, and re-enables interrupts if it's been clobbered. In a proper config this check should never be triggered. This is really a distro issue, but having a sanity check is nice, as long as it doesn't have a real performance hit.
