Subject: Partially revert "drm/i915: unconditionally use mt forcewake on
 hsw/ivb"

commit c11e5f35ab490bd30591563816fbc83526521777 upstream.

This patch partially reverts commit 36ec8f877481449bdfa072e6adf2060869e2b970 for
IvyBridge CPUs.

The original commit results in repeated 'Timed out waiting for forcewake old
ack to clear' messages on a Supermicro C7H61 board (BIOS version 2.00 and 2.00b)
with i7-3770K CPU. It ultimately results in a hangup if the system is highly
loaded. Reverting the commit for IvyBridge CPUs fixes the issue.

Issue a warning if the CPU is IvyBridge and mt forcewake is disabled, since
this condition can result in secondary issues.

v2: Only revert patch for Ivybridge CPUs
    Issue info message if mt forcewake is disabled on Ivybridge
