[igt-dev] [PATCH v4 i-g-t 11/15] tests/i915/i915_hangman: Don't let background contexts cause a ban

[John.C.Harrison at Intel.com]

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

The global context used by all the subtests for causing hangs is
marked as unbannable. However, some of the subtests set background
spinners running on all engines using a freshly created context. If
there is a test failure for any reason, all of those spinners can be
killed off as hanging contexts. On systems with lots of engines, that
can result in the test being banned from creating any new contexts.

So make the spinner contexts unbannable as well. That way if one
subtest fails it won't necessarily bring down all subsequent subtests.

v2: Simplify anti-banning code (review feedback from Matthew Brost).
