[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Prevent machine hang from Broxton's vtd w/a and error capture

Since capturing the error state requires fiddling around with the GGTT
to read arbitrary buffers and is itself run under stop_machine(), it
deadlocks the machine (effectively a hard hang) when run in conjunction
with Broxton's VTd workaround to serialize GGTT access.
