[Intel-xe] [RFC PATCH] drm/ttm: Allow the driver to resolve a WW transaction rollback

[Thomas Hellström]

Allow drivers to resolve a WW transaction rollback. This allows for
1) Putting a lower-priority transaction to sleep allowing another to
succeed instead both fighting using trylocks.
2) Letting the driver know whether a received -ENOMEM is the result of
competition with another WW transaction, which can be resolved using
rollback and retry or a real -ENOMEM which should be propagated back
to user-space as a failure.
