[RFC] drm/msm: Boost on waits

[Rob Clark]

From: Rob Clark <robdclark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Minimize interactive latency by boosting frequency when userspace is
waiting on the GPU to finish.

I did contemplate also boosting on dma_fence_wait(), but (a) that would
require some extra plumbing thru gpu-sched, (b) that only captures a
sub-set of wait-on-dma-fence patterns, and (c) waiting on a dma-fence
doesn't always imply urgency (for ex, virglrenderer poll()ing on a dma-
fence to know when to send a fence irq to VM guest).  But the driver
WAIT_FENCE and CPU_PREP ioctls map to things like glFinish() where it
is pretty clear that there is something wishing the GPU would finish
sooner.
