drm/i915: Break modeset deadlocks on reset

Trying to do a modeset from within a reset is fraught with danger. We
can fall into a cyclic deadlock where the modeset is waiting on a
previous modeset that is waiting on a request, and since the GPU hung
that request completion is waiting on the reset. As modesetting doesn't
allow its locks to be broken and restarted, or for its *own* reset
mechanism to take over the display, we have to do something very
evil instead. If we detect that we are stuck waiting to prepare the
display reset (by using a very simple timeout), resort to cancelling all
in-flight requests and throwing the user data into /dev/null, which is
marginally better than the driver locking up and keeping that data to
itself.

This is not a fix; this is just a workaround that unbreaks machines
until we can resolve the deadlock in a way that doesn't lose data!

v2: Move the retirement from set-wegded to the i915_reset() error path,
after which we no longer any delayed worker cleanup for
i915_handle_error()
v3: C abuse for syntactic sugar
v4: Cover all waits with the timeout to catch more driver breakage
