[PATCH] drm/i915/guc: Force a reset on internal GuC error

From: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison at Intel.com>

If GuC hits an internal error (and survives long enough to report it
to the KMD), it is basically toast and will stop until a GT reset and
subsequent GuC reload is performed. Previously, the KMD just printed
an error message and then waited for the heartbeat to eventually kick
in and trigger a reset (assuming the heartbeat had not been disabled).
Instead, force the reset immediately to guarantee that it happens and
to eliminate the very long heartbeat delay. The captured error state
is also more likely to be useful if captured at the time of the error
rather than many seconds later.

Note that it is not possible to trigger a reset from with the G2H
handler itself. The reset prepare process involves flushing
outstanding G2H contents. So a deadlock could result. Instead, the G2H
handler queues a worker thread to do the reset asynchronously.
