[Intel-gfx] [PATCH igt 2/4] lib: Idle the GT when quiescing the GPU

As part of the general procedure for ensuring the GPU is idle, we also
want to ask the driver to flush its idle_worker. The idle_worker is
responsible for releasing both the driver's internal cache of buffers
and cache of state (such as the prolonged GT wakeref). By flushing the
idle_worker we ensure that each test (each caller needing an idle gpu)
has a clean slate; not carrying over caches from one test to the next.

Note this is a silent no-op for kernels that do not know about DROP_IDLE,
old bugs will remain.
