[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 1/2] ddebug: simplify watchdog loop and fix crash in the no-timeout case

From: Nicolai Hähnle <nicolai.haehnle at amd.com>

The following race condition could occur in the no-timeout case:

  API thread               Gallium thread            Watchdog
  ----------               --------------            --------
  dd_before_draw
  u_threaded_context draw
  dd_after_draw
    add to dctx->records
    signal watchdog
                                                     dump & destroy record
                           execute draw
                           dd_after_draw_async
                             use-after-free!

Alternatively, the same scenario would assert in a debug build when
destroying the record because record->driver_finished has not signaled.

Fix this and simplify the logic at the same time by
- handing the record pointers off to the watchdog thread *before* each
  draw call and
- waiting on the driver_finished fence in the watchdog thread
