drm/i915/selftests: Avoid repeatedly harming the same innocent context
We don't handle resetting the kernel context very well, or presumably any context executing its breadcrumb commands in the ring as opposed to the batchbuffer and flush. If we trigger a device reset twice in quick succession while the kernel context is executing, we may end up skipping the breadcrumb. This is really only a problem for the selftest as normally there is a large interlude between resets (hangcheck), or we focus on resetting just one engine and so avoid repeatedly resetting innocents. Something to try would be a preempt-to-idle to quiesce the engine before reset, so that innocent contexts would be spared the reset.
