From: Tomas Elf <tomas.elf at intel.com>

There used to be a work queue separating the error handler from the hang
recovery path, which was removed a while back in this commit:

commit b8d24a06568368076ebd5a858a011699a97bfa42

    drm/i915: Remove nested work in gpu error handling

Now we need to revert most of that commit since the work queue separating
hang detection from hang recovery is needed in preparation for the upcoming
watchdog timeout feature. The watchdog interrupt service routine will be a
second callsite of the error handler alongside the periodic hang checker,
which runs in a work queue context. Seeing as the error handler will be
serving a caller in a hard interrupt execution context that means that the
error handler must never end up in a situation where it needs to grab the
struct_mutex.  Unfortunately, that is exactly what we need to do first at
the start of the hang recovery path, which might potentially sleep if the
struct_mutex is already held by another thread. Not good when you're in a
hard interrupt context.
