[PATCH v3] drm/i915/gt: Retry RING_HEAD reset until it sticks

On Haswell, in particular, we see an issue where resets fails because
the engine resumes from an incorrect RING_HEAD. Since the RING_HEAD
doesn't point to the remaining requests to re-run, but may instead point
into the uninitialised portion of the ring, the GPU may be then fed
invalid instructions from a privileged context, oft pushing the GPU into
an unrecoverable hang.

If at first the write doesn't succeed, try, try again.

v2: Avoid unnecessary timeout macro (Andi)

v3: Correct comment format (Andi)
