[PATCH 01/11] drm/i915/execlists: Avoid kicking the submission too early for rescheduling

[Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>]

If the request is still waiting on external fences, it has not yet been
submitted to the HW queue and so we can forgo kicking the submission
tasklet when re-evaluating its priority.

This should have no impact other than reducing the number of tasklet
wakeups under signal heavy workloads (e.g. switching between engines).

v2: Use prebaked container_of()
