[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t] lib: Require working GEM (!wedged) to allow hang injection

[Chris Wilson]

As we ordinarily use a spinning batch to trigger a hang, we cannot do so
without execbuf. On the other hand, if we do a manual reset of the
wedged driver, we expect it to remain wedged and for the reset to fail;
failing the test. Even if we remove the igt_assert(!wedged), the test is
suspect as we don't know if the reset took place and so do not know if
the conditions the test is trying to setup apply.
