    ... instead of looping endless with no hope of ever serving that
    page-fault. We only need to break out of this loop when the gpu died,
    to run the reset work (and hopefully resurrect it).
    
    To clarify questions Chris raised on irc: This is about handling I/O
    errors not from our own code, but e.g. when the disk died when trying
    to swap in a gem bo. So this patch remidies the issue that the current
    handling only handles gpu-death-induced cases of -EIO. Admittedly,
    dying disks are much rarer than hanging gpus ...To clarify questions
