[PATCH v5] drm/i915: Avoid circular locking dependency when flush delayed work on gt reset

This attempts to avoid circular locking dependency between flush delayed
work and intel_gt_reset.
When intel_gt_reset was called, task will hold a lock.
To cacel delayed work here, the _sync version will also acquire a lock,
which might trigger the possible cirular locking dependency warning.
When intel_gt_reset called, reset_in_progress flag will be set, add code
to check the flag, call async verion if reset is in progress.
