Sorry for the delayed response, just reviving this series now and seeing
this comment.

We don't care if the TDR is currently executing (at least in Xe which
makes use of this function), that is totally fine we only care to change
the future timeout values. I believe we actually call this from the TDR
in Xe to set the timeout value to zero so using a sync version would
deadlock. We do this as a mechanism to kill the drm_gpu_scheduler and
immediately timeout all remaining jobs. We also call this in a few other
places too with a value of zero for the same reason (kill the
drm_gpu_scheduler).
