[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 18/19] drm/i915: Add support for asynchronous moving fence waiting

Hi,

We're moving towards a failsafe migration on DG1, but on DG2+ we'd have 
to wedge the GPU when an error occurs during initial clearing or swapin. 
But CPU maps don't care whether the GPU is wedged so we need to check 
the error status both below and in the TTM fault handler, I guess.

We need to error check the async binding in the dma-fence-work release 
callback, and set the VMA_ERROR flag if necessary, at least until we 
have the error-safe / gpu wedge stuff. VMA_ERROR is racy, though.
