Pull the repeated check for the last active request being completed to a
single spot, when deciding whether or not execlist preemption is
required.

You return if it is not last? Also the hi schedule is gone.

The kick was just causing us to busyspin ahead of the HW CS event. On
tracing, it did not seem worth it.

If this is the last request, the GPU is now idling and we know that we
will not try and lite restore into that request/context. So instead of
waiting for the CS event, we go ahead and prepare the next pair of
contexts.

If it was not the last request, we know there is a context the GPU will
switch into, so the urgency is not an issue. However, we have to be
careful that we don't issue an ELSP into that second context in case we
catch it as it idles (thus hanging the HW).
