[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 16/21] drm/i915: Retire requests before disabling pagefaults

[Chris Wilson]

As we cannot wait upon an object to be released by the GPU once we have
disabled pagefaults, process any pending retirements first in the hope
that we move any potential relocations off the active list.
