Track the nearest deadline on a fence timeline and set a timer to expire
shortly before to trigger boost if the fence has not yet been signaled.

v2: rebase

A small question: do we boost to fit into the deadline or to miss the
deadline for as little as possible? If the former is the case, we might
need to adjust 3ms depending on the workload.

The goal is as much to run with higher clock on the next frame as it
is to not miss a deadline. Ie. we don't want devfreq to come to the
conclusion that running at <50% clks is best due to the amount of
utilization caused by missing ever other vblank.

Ack, thanks for the explanation.


But 3ms is mostly just "seems like a good compromise" value. It might change.
