drm/i915: Separate out reset flags from the reset counter



In preparation for introducing a per-engine reset, we can first separate
the mixing of the reset state from the global reset counter.

The loss of atomicity in updating the reset state poses a small problem
for handling the waiters. For requests, this is solved by advancing the
seqno so that a waiter waking up after the reset knows the request is
complete. For pending flips, we still rely on the increment of the
global reset epoch (as well as the reset-in-progress flag) to signify
when the hardware was reset.

The advantage, now that we do not inspect the reset state during reset
itself i.e. we no longer emit requests during reset, is that we can use
the atomic updates of the state flags to ensure that only one reset
worker is active.

v2: Mika spotted that I transformed the i915_gem_wait_for_error() wakeup
into a waiter wakeup.
