[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Flush buffer pools on driver remove

In preparation for clean driver release, attempts to drain work queues
and release freed objects are taken at driver remove time.  However, GT
buffer pools are now not flushed before the driver release phase.
Since unused objects may stay there for up to one second, some may
survive until driver release is attempted.  That can potentially
explain sporadic then hardly reproducible issues observed at driver
release time, like non-zero shrink counter or outstanding address space
areas.

Flush buffer pools on GT remove as a fix.  On driver release, don't push
the pools again, just assert that the flush was called and nothing added
more in between.
