drm/i915/gt: Only kick the signal worker if there's been an update
One impact of commit
047a1b877ed4 ("dma-buf & drm/amdgpu: remove
dma_resv workaround") is that it stores many, many more fences. Whereas
adding an exclusive fence used to remove the shared fence list, that
list is now preserved and the write fences included into the list. Not
just a single write fence, but now a write/read fence per context. That
causes us to have to track more fences than before (albeit half of those
are redundant), and we trigger more interrupts for multi-engine
workloads.
As part of reducing the impact from handling more signaling, we observe
we only need to kick the signal worker after adding a fence iff we have
good cause to believe that there is work to be done in processing the
fence i.e. we either need to enable the interrupt or the request is
already complete but we don't know if we saw the interrupt and so need
to check signaling.
