drm/i915/execlists: Use a locked clear_bit() for synchronisation with interrupt

We were relying on the uncached reads when processing the CSB to provide
ourselves with the serialisation with the interrupt handler (so we could
detect new interrupts in the middle of processing the old one). However,
in commit 767a983a ("drm/i915/execlists: Read the context-status HEAD
from the HWSP") those uncached reads were eliminated (on one path at
least) and along with them our serialisation. The result is that we
would very rarely miss notification of a new interrupt and leave a
context-switch unprocessed, hanging the GPU.
