drm/i915: clarify concurrent hang detect/gpu reset consistency
Damien Lespiau wondered how race the gpu reset/hang detection code is against concurrent gpu resets/hang detections or combinations thereof. Luckily the single work item is guranteed to never run concurrently, so reset handling is already single-threaded. Hence we only have to worry about concurrent hang detections, or a hang detection firing off while we're still processing an older gpu reset request. Due to the new mechanism of setting the reset in progress flag and the ordering guaranteed by the schedule_work function there's nothing to do but add a comment explaining why we're safe. The only thing I've noticed is that we still try to reset the gpu now, even when it is declared terminally wedged. Add a check for that to avoid continous warnings about failed resets, in case the hangcheck timer ever gets stuck.
