[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/2] drm/i915/guc: Don't deadlock busyness stats vs reset

From: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison at Intel.com>

The engine busyness stats has a worker function to do things like
64bit extend the 32bit hardware counters. The GuC's reset prepare
function flushes out this worker function to ensure no corruption
happens during the reset. Unforunately, the worker function has an
infinite wait for active resets to finish before doing its work. Thus
a deadlock would occur if the worker function had actually started
just as the reset starts.

Update the worker to abort if a reset is in progress rather than
waiting for it to complete. It will still acquire the reset lock in
the case where a reset was not already in progress. So the processing
is still safe from corruption, but the deadlock can no longer occur.
