drm/i915: Always run hangcheck while the GPU is busy

Previously, we relied on only running the hangcheck while somebody was
waiting on the GPU, in order to minimise the amount of time hangcheck
had to run. (If nobody was watching the GPU, nobody would notice if the
GPU wasn't responding -- eventually somebody would care and so kick
hangcheck into action.) However, this falls apart from around commit
4680816be336 ("drm/i915: Wait first for submission, before waiting for
request completion"), as not all waiters declare themselves to hangcheck
and so we could switch off hangcheck and miss GPU hangs even when
waiting under the struct_mutex.

If we enable hangcheck from the first request submission, and let it run
until the GPU is idle again, we forgo all the complexity involved with
only enabling around waiters. We just have to remember to be careful that
we do not declare a GPU hang when idly waiting for the next request to
be come ready, as we will run hangcheck continuously even when the
engines are stalled waiting for external events. This should be true
already as we should only be tracking requests submitted to hardware for
execution as an indicator that the engine is busy.
