If the request is still waiting on external fences, it has not yet been
submitted to the HW queue and so we can forgo kicking the submission
tasklet when re-evaluating its priority.

This should have no impact other than reducing the number of tasklet
wakeups under signal heavy workloads (e.g. switching between engines).

v2: Use prebaked container_of()

..to have explicit priority comparison on submit callsite I gather.
Or is there some other reason?

You need to fix indent in here.

No, just because I wanted both checks in this case. On the other path
i915_sw_fence_done() isn't technically true as we are in process of
performing the i915_sw_fence callback, so just i915_sw_fence_signaled().
But we don't want to use i915_sw_fence_signaled() here as I don't want
to think about the race. :)

So since prio > engine.queue_priority should be cheaper than loading the
cacheline for the request->submit.flags, I wanted that tested first as
it will only fire, at most, once per engine.

Ok, didn't see the perf angle of it but makes sense.

Fixed up the double indent and pushed. Thanks for the review, and
digging into i915_sw_fence :)
