    drm/i915: Finish page flips and update primary planes after a GPU reset

the gpu reset work now also grabs modeset locks. But since work items
on our private work queue are not allowed to do that due to the
flush_workqueue from the pageflip code this results in a neat
deadlock:

This blew up while running kms_flip/flip-vs-panning-vs-hang-interruptible
on one of my older machines.

Unfortunately (despite the proper lockdep annotations for
flush_workqueue) lockdep still doesn't detect this correctly, so we
need to rely on chance to discover these bugs.

Apply the usual bugfix and schedule the reset work on the system
workqueue to keep our own driver workqueue free of any modeset lock
grabbing.

Note that this is not a terribly serious regression since before the
offending commit we'd simply have stalled userspace forever due to
failing to abort all outstanding pageflips.
