[PATCH v5 0/2] Fix TLB invalidate issues with Broadwell

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

i915 selftest hangcheck is causing the i915 driver timeouts, as reported
by Intel CI bot:

When such test runs, the only output is:

[ 68.811639] i915: Performing live selftests with st_random_seed=0xe138eac7 st_timeout=500

After that, the machine just silently hangs.

Bisecting the issue, the patch that introduced the regression is:

7938d61591d3 ("drm/i915: Flush TLBs before releasing backing store")

Reverting it fix the issues, but introduce other problems, as TLB
won't be invalidated anymore. So, instead, let's fix the root cause.

It turns that the TLB flush logic ends conflicting with i915 reset,
which is called during selftest hangcheck. So, the TLB cache should
be serialized together with i915 reset.

Tested on an Intel NUC5i7RYB with an i7-5557U Broadwell CPU.

v5:
- Added a missing SoB on patch 2.
- No other changes.

v4:
- No functional changes. All changes are at the patch descriptions:
- collected acked-by/reviewed-by;
- use the same e-mail on Author and SoB on patch 1.

v3:
- Removed the logic that would check if the engine is awake before doing
TLB flush invalidation as backporting PM logic up to Kernel 4.x could be
too painful. After getting this one merged, I'll submit a separate patch
with the PM awake logic.

v2:

- Reduced to bare minimum fixes, as this shoud be backported deeply
into stable.

drm/i915/gt: Serialize TLB invalidates with GT resets
