drm/i915: Disable GPU semaphores by default

Andi Kleen narrowed his GPU hangs on his Sugar Bay (SNB desktop) rev 09
down to the use of GPU semaphores, and we already know that they appear
broken up to Huron River (mobile) rev 08. (I'm optimistic that disabling
GPU semaphores is simply hiding another bug by the latency and
side-effects of the additional device interaction it introduces...)

However, use of semaphores is a massive performance improvement... Only
as long as the system remains stable. Enable at your peril.
