drm/i915: Stop spinning for DROP_IDLE (debugfs/i915_drop_caches)



If the user is racing a call to debugfs/i915_drop_caches with ongoing
submission from another thread/process, we may never end up idling the
GPU and be uninterruptibly spinning in debugfs/i915_drop_caches trying
to catch an idle moment.

Just flush the work once, that should be enough to park the system under
correct conditions. Outside of those we either have a driver bug or the
user is racing themselves. Sadly, because the user may be provoking the
unwanted situation we can't put a warn here to attract attention to a
probable bug.
