But why? In a real-world scenario, this should not happen.

As per earlier comments, before changing the test we need to understand 
more about what is actually happening and why. The previous descriptions 
of what is failing and on what platforms do not make sense.

Also, the request for more explanation was not just for the email 
discussion but to actually add that description into the test. I even 
explicitly asked for that in one of the review emails. The 
xe_exec_threads executable reports 114 separate subtests, none of which 
has any documentation at all. The comments within the code basically 
come down to saying 'wait for completion' immediately before waiting.

At one point Matthew Brost stated:

To which my replay was that if only one spinner is non-pre-emptible then 
all the other spinners should get automatically switched out prior to 
the reset being triggered and should therefore not be killed. The 'good' 
queues should survive and be totally oblivious to the reset occurring.

So either the above description is inaccurate and all the spinners are 
actually non-pre-emptible. In which case, if that is not the intention 
of the test then the correct fix is to make them pre-emptible and it 
should then pass. Or if the description is accurate, then the test is 
correctly failing because it has found a bug which needs to be fixed. 
Either way, the correct solution is not to simply skip the failing case 
and hide it under the rug.
