drm/i915: Speed up DMC firmware loading
Currently we're doing: 1. acquire lock 2. write word to hardware 3. release lock 4. repeat from 1 to load the DMC firmware. Due to the cost of acquiring/releasing a lock, and the size of the DMC firmware, this slows down DMC loading a lot. This patch simply acquires the lock, writes the entire firmware, then releases the lock. Testing shows resume speedups in the order of 10ms on platforms with DMC firmware (GEN9+). v2: Per feedback from Chris & Ville there's no need to do the whole forcewake dance, so lose that bit (Chris, Ville) v3: Actually send the new version of the patch... v4: Don't acquire the uncore lock. Disable preempt.
