When we retire the last request on the ring, before we ever access that
ring again we know it will be completely idle and so we can advance the
ring->head fully to the end (i.e. ring->tail) and not just to the start
of the breadcrumb. This allows us to skip re-emitting the breadcrumb
after resetting the GPU if the ring was entirely idle. This prevents us
from overwriting a seqno wraparound by re-executing a stale breadcrumb,
i.e.
submit_request(1)
intel_engine_init_global_seqno(0)
i915_reset()
would then leave 1 in the HWS, but the next request to execute would
also be with seqno 1. The sanity checks upon submission detect this as a
timewarp and explode. By setting the ring as empty, upon reset the HWS
is left as 0, leaving it consistent with the timeline.
v2: Fix check for deleting last element of list. We know that this
request is always the first element of the ring, so only if next
points back to the start will this be the only request in flight.
