[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Bump priority of clean up work

[Chris Wilson]

We require that we keep the list of outstanding work short so that we do
not "leak" memory while pageflipping under stress. However that system
stress may delay kernel workers virtually indefinitely, which incurs the
pageflips stall and eventually hit a timeout waiting for the cleanup.

Try to combat CPU starvation of our short-lived cleanup workers by
switching to a high priority workqueue.

Not sure if highpri is enough to combat our RT torture...
