[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 3/4] drm/i915/gt: Perform an arbitration check before busywaiting

During igt_reset_nop_engine, it was observed that an unexpected failed
engine reset lead to us busywaiting on the stop-ring semaphore (set
during the reset preparations) on the first request afterwards. There was
no explicit MI_ARB_CHECK in this sequence as the presumption was that
the failed MI_SEMAPHORE_WAIT would itself act as an arbitration point.
It did not in this circumstance, so force it.
