[PATCH v1 4/6] drm/lima: handle spurious timeouts due to high irq latency

There are several unexplained and unreproduced cases of rendering
timeouts with lima, for which one theory is high IRQ latency coming from
somewhere else in the system.
This kind of occurrence may cause applications to trigger unnecessary
resets of the GPU or even applications to hang if it hits an issue in
the recovery path.
Panfrost already does some special handling to account for such
"spurious timeouts", it makes sense to have this in lima too to reduce
the chance that it hit users.
