Subject: [PATCH] Revert "drm/i915: unconditionally use mt forcewake on hsw/ivb"

This reverts commit 36ec8f877481449bdfa072e6adf2060869e2b970.

The 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 fixes the issue.

While I understand that this should be fixed in the BIOS, a more recent BIOS
is not available fron the vendor. If/since no better solution is not available,
reverting the patch seems to be the way to go (otherwise me and others with
the same problem won't be able to run the upstream kernel on affected boards).
