[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2 3/8] drm/i915: Cope with request list state change during error state capture

Since we're not synchronizing the ring request list during error state capture
the request list state might change between the time the corresponding error
request list was allocated and dimensioned to the time when the ring request
list is actually captured into the error state. If this happens then do an
early exit and be aware that the captured error state might not be fully
reliable.

* v2:
- Chris Wilson: Removed WARN_ON from size check since having the error state
  request list and the live driver request list diverge like this is a
  legitimate behaviour.

- Tomas Elf: Removed update of num_request field since this made no sense. Just
  exit and move on.
