Chris Wilson ce453d81cb drm/i915: Use a device flag for non-interruptible phases
The code paths for modesetting are growing in complexity as we may need
to move the buffers around in order to fit the scanout in the aperture.
Therefore we face a choice as to whether to thread the interruptible status
through the entire pinning and unbinding code paths or to add a flag to
the device when we may not be interrupted by a signal. This does the
latter and so fixes a few instances of modesetting failures under stress.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
