[Intel-gfx] [PATCH i-g-t 3/3] i915/gem_exec_fence: Avoid long preempt-off sleeps

The kernel is now enforcing that clients are not allowed to block higher
priority contexts from accessing the GPU; one is no longer allowed to
sleep for a second hogging the GPU. Reduce the sleep down to 50ms, short
enough not to anger the preempt-off checks while long enough for any
ordinary GPU work to complete.
