[Intel-gfx] Mika's reward

In preparation for relaxing the conditions under which we wait to allow
waiting on the GPU from any context (e.g. holding nearly any other
mutex) is to remove taking struct_mutex from inside GPU reset. The issue
being that any mutex required for GPU reset is required to avoid
indefinite waits while waiting on the GPU -- so any mutex on which we
wait, may not be used inside reset (or the shrinker). struct_mutex
circumvents this requirement by complicated recursion avoidance, a
lesson we do not want to repeat.
