Currently the timer is armed for 1ms after the first use and is killed
immediately, dropping the forcewake as early as possible. However, for
very frequent operations the forcewake dance has a large impact on
latency and keeping the timer alive until we are idle is preferred. To
achieve this, if we call intel_uncore_forcewake_get whilst the timer is
alive (repeated use), then set a flag to restart the timer on expiry
rather than drop the forcewake usage count. The timer is racy, the
consequence of the race is to expire the timer earlier than is now
desired but does not impact on correct behaviour. The offset the race
slightly, we set the active flag again on intel_uncore_forcewake_put.
The effect should be to reduce the jitter of reacquiring the fw every
1ms on a busy system. However, the cost is to keep the timer alive for
an extra 1ms on a nearly idle system. We chose to incur the jitter
previously to keep the timer off for as much as possible.

In order to allow use of e.g. forcewake_domains in a other feature headers
included from the top of i915_drv.h, move all uncore related definitions
into their own header.
v2: move __mask_next_bit macro to utils header (Mika)
