... using the biggest hammer we have. This is essentially a weaponized
version of the timeout-based wedging Chris added in

    drm/i915: Break modeset deadlocks on reset

Because defense-in-depth is good it's good to still have both. Also
note that with the locking change we can now restrict this a lot (old
gpus and special testing only), so this doesn't kill the TDR benefits
on at least anything remotely modern.

And futuremore with a few tricks it should be possible to make a much
more educated guess about whether an atomic commit is stuck waiting on
the gpu (atomic_t counting the pending i915_sw_fence used by the
atomic modeset code should do it), so we can improve this.

But for now just start with something that is guaranteed to recover
faster, for much better CI througput.

This defacto reverts TDR on these platforms, but there's not really a
single commit to specify as the sole offender.
