[PATCH 1/4] drm/msm/a5xx: disable preemption in submits by default

[Vladimir Lypak]

Fine grain preemption (switching from/to points within submits)
requires extra handling in command stream of those submits, especially
when rendering with tiling (using GMEM). However this handling is
missing at this point in mesa (and always was). For this reason we get
random GPU faults and hangs if more than one priority level is used
because local preemption is enabled prior to executing command stream
from submit.
With that said it was ahead of time to enable local preemption by
default considering the fact that even on downstream kernel it is only
enabled if requested via UAPI.
