Chris Wilson 85345517fe drm/i915: Retire any pending operations on the old scanout when switching
An old and oft reported bug, is that of the GPU hanging on a
MI_WAIT_FOR_EVENT following a mode switch. The cause is that the GPU is
waiting on a scanline counter on an inactive pipe, and so waits for a
very long time until eventually the user reboots his machine.

We can prevent this either by moving the WAIT into the kernel and
thereby incurring considerable cost on every swapbuffers, or by waiting
for the GPU to retire the last batch that accesses the framebuffer
before installing a new one. As mode switches are much rarer than swap
buffers, this looks like an easy choice.
