There's no difference in that regard (test being definitive) between
drm_test_managed_release_action and pre-existing
drm_test_managed_run_action.

If the action is executed after the timeout, with run_action we're going
to get a false-negative result, and with release_action we're going to
get a false-positive result.

That would require digging into implementation details rather than
focusing on the interface, which, in my opinion, is not a very good
approach.

In the next revision I'll drop the waitqueue completely. If that won't
work, I also have a variant that uses bus notifier to make both tests
more definitive.
