[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t v21 09/35] lib/intel_allocator: Try to stop smoothly instead of deinit

[Zbigniew Kempczyński]

Avoid race when stop was send to allocator thread. We wait around
100 ms to give thread chance to stop smoothly instead of removing
queue and enforcing exiting all blocked message syscalls.
