[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Make preempt timeout for banned contexts configurable

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin at intel.com>

When we ban a context, for instance when userspace marked itself as non-
persistent and has exited, we apply a 1ms grace period after which any
belonging workload still on the GPU (did not preempt) will be forcibly
terminated (using engine reset).

For some workloads period between preemptible points can be longer than
this default which results in preempt timeout reset messages, even though
the process would actually gracefully exit if given enough time.

Coupled with the fact that error messages during normal operation, even if
harmless, can be frowned upon, we are left with two options. We could
either increase the timeout for everyone, or we could allow it to be
configured.

Given how rapid response to banned contexts (which can be for many reasons
including deliberate denial of service attempts) is preferrable this patch
opts for the latter.

The default timeout is left at 1ms but can now be configured either at
kernel build time via CONFIG_DRM_I915_BANNED_CONTEXT_TIMEOUT, or at
runtime using engine sysfs controls, with the added one being named
banned_context_timeout_ms.
