drm/i915: don't hang userspace when the gpu reset is stuck
With the gpu reset no longer using a trylock we've increased the chances of userspace getting stuck quite a bit. To make that (hopefully) rare case more paletable time out when waiting for the gpu reset code to complete and signal this little issue to the caller by returning -EIO. This should help userspace to somewhat gracefully fall back and hopefully allow the user to grab some logs and reboot the machine (instead of staring at a frozen X screen in agony). Suggested by Chris Wilson because I've been stubborn about allowing the gpu reset code no to fail, ever (by removing the trylock).
