During igt_reset_nop_engine, it was observed that an unexpected failed
engine reset lead to us busywaiting on the stop-ring semaphore (set
during the reset preparations) on the first request afterwards. There was
no explicit MI_ARB_CHECK in this sequence as the presumption was that
the failed MI_SEMAPHORE_WAIT would itself act as an arbitration point.
It did not in this circumstance, so force it.
This patch is based on the assumption that the MI_SEMAPHORE_WAIT failure
to arbitrate is a rare Tigerlake bug, similar to the lite-restore vs
semaphore issues previously seen in the CS. The explicit MI_ARB_CHECK
should always ensure that there is at least one arbitration point in the
request before the MI_SEMAPHORE_WAIT to trigger the IDLE->ACTIVE event.
Upon processing that event, we will clear the stop-ring flag and release
the semaphore from its busywait.

On the off chance that we need to arbitrate before launching the
payload, perform the check after we signal the request is ready to
start. Assuming instantaneous processing of the CS event, the request
will then be treated as having started when we make the decisions as to
how to process that CS event.
v2: More commentary about the users of i915_request_started() as a
reminder about why we are marking the initial breadcrumb.
