I'd really prefer something annoying and loud like we've done when nuking
the deferred free list in

commit 1488fc08c1706288616c602416654fd38c773deb

    drm/i915: Remove the deferred-free list

where we've added a WARN_ON in gem_free_object if any unbind was failing
due to interrupts. This patch here disables that imo useful safety check.
