Bare with me for a few more patches. I didn't like it either. I guess I
should move that chunk earlier so we don't have the eyesore and rightful
questions over my sanity.

By the end, we use the i915_scheduler for everything, including legacy
ringbuffer submission for which the i915_scheduler does nothing, as it
cannot support execution reordering.

So there's a scheduler behind every i915_request, but we don't always
need to add all the dependency tracking. So for "is_active" I was
thinking along the lines of an active scheduler that supports reordering.

But i915_request_has_active_scheduler() and
intel_engine_has_active_scheduler() is something of a mouthful, when the
the inactive scheduler doesn't count for much and can be quietly
ignored.

I'll try and summarise the distinction for the inlines. I've tried to
describe the differences for the scheduling modes elsewhere (when they
eyesore is removed). If I introduce the scheduling modes here instead of
a pure ACTIVE_BIT, that should be a better story.
