[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 7/7] drm/i915: More surgically unbreak the modeset vs reset deadlock

There's no reason to entirely wedge the gpu, for the minimal deadlock
bugfix we only need to unbreak/decouple the atomic commit from the gpu
reset. The simplest wait to fix that is by replacing the
unconditional fence wait a the top of commit_tail by a wait which
completes either when the fences are done (normal case, or when a
reset doesn't need to touch the display state). Or when the gpu reset
needs to force-unblock all pending modeset states.

Note that in both cases TDR itself keeps working, so from a userspace
pov this trickery isn't observable. Users themselvs might spot a short
glitch while the rendering is catching up again, but that's still
better than pre-TDR where we've thrown away all the rendering,
including innocent batches. Also, this fixes the regression TDR
introduced of making gpu resets deadlock-prone when we do need to
touch the display.

One thing I noticed is that gpu_error.flags seems to use both our own
wait-queue in gpu_error.wait_queue, and the generic wait_on_bit
facilities. Not entirely sure why this inconsistency exists, I just
picked one style.

A possible future avenue could be to insert the gpu reset in-between
ongoing modeset changes, which would avoid the momentary glitch. But
that's a lot more work to implement in the atomic commit machinery,
and given that we only need this for pre-g4x hw, of questionable
utility just for the sake of polishing gpu reset even more on those
old boxes. It might be useful for other features though.
