[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Stop propagating fence errors by default

[Tvrtko Ursulin]

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

This is an alternative proposed fix for the below references bug report
where dma fence error propagation is causing undesirable change in
behaviour post GPU hang/reset.

Approach in this patch is to simply stop propagating all dma fence errors
by default since that seems to be the upstream ask.

To handle the case where i915 needs error propagation for security, I add
a new dma fence flag DMA_FENCE_FLAG_PROPAGATE_ERROR and make use of it in
the command parsing chain only.

It sounds a plausible argument that fence propagation could be useful in
which case a core flag to enable opt-in should be universally useful.
