[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: change the fence ring wait timeout

Mhm, we could change amdgpu_fence_wait_empty() to timeout. But I think 
that waiting forever here is intentional and the right thing to do.

What happens is that we wait for the hardware to make sure that nothing 
is writing to any memory before we unload the driver.

Now the VCN block has crashed and doesn't respond, but we can't 
guarantee that it is not accidentally writing anywhere.

The only alternative we have is to time out and proceed with the driver 
unload, risking corrupting the memory we free during that should the 
hardware continue to do something.

Regards,
Christian.
