Whilst this is not wrong (since we are serialising the per-engine and
global resets), I would suggest we avoid storing the request in the
hangcheck here and just pass the request along to
i915_gem_request_engine.

No strong reason, just less magic state passing between functions.

If we neuter the return beneath the if, this blank line can also go.

request = ERR_PTR(-EIO); and then keep the single return.
