drm/i915/gt: Only retire on the last breadcrumb if the last request
We use the completion of the last active breadcrumb to retire the
requests along a timeline. This is purely opportunistic as nothing
guarantees that any particular timeline is terminated by a breadcrumb;
except for parking the engine where we explicitly add a breadcrumb so
that we park quickly and do an explicit retire upon signaling to reduce
the latency dramatically (avoiding a retire worker roundtrip).
With scheduling, we anticipate retiring completed timelines as a matter
of course. Performing the same action from inside the breadcrumbs is
intended to provide similar functionality for legacy ringbuffer
submission.
