For a singl_port_submission context, it can only be submitted to port 0,
and there shouldn't be any other context in port 1 at the same time. This
is required by GVT-g context to have an opportunity to save/restore some
non-hw context render registers.
This patch is to implement the correct logic in execlists_dequeue.

v2: optimized code by following Chris's advice, and added more comments to
explain the patch.
v3: followed the coding style.

Hi, Min, like Daniel said not need to add my s-o-b.

This statement is not true. It has the opportunity to modify the GVT
context if a non-GVT context was in port 0 or port 1.

I object. This is not the correct logic here, but to workaround a
failure in GVT.

Any way pushed until GVT is fixed.

If a non-GVT context is in port 0, and a GVT context in port 1, after non-GVT
context completes, GPU will switch to GVT context directly, and we will lose
the opportunity to save the non-GVT context registers and restore GVT context
registers. So non-GVT context's register will impact GVT context. 
And vice versa.
