drm/i915/selftests: Release the struct_mutex to free the objects
live_gtt is a very slow test to run, simply because it tries to allocate and use as much as the 48b address space as possibly can and in the process will try to own all of the system memory. This leads to resource exhaustion and CPU starvation; the latter impacts us when the NMI watchdog declares a task hung due to a mutex contention with ourselves. This we can prevent by releasing the struct_mutex and forcing our i915/rcu workers to run, and in particular flushing the freed object worker that is the cause for concern.
