[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/3] drm/i915/gt: Don't declare hangs if engine is stalled

[Chris Wilson]

If the ring submission is stalled on an external request, nothing can be
submitted, not even the heartbeat in the kernel context. Since nothing
is running, resetting the engine/device does not unblock the system and
is pointless. We can see if the heartbeat is supposed to be running
before declaring foul.
