[PATCH v2 2/6] drm/gud: Don't retry a failed framebuffer flush

[Noralf Trønnes via B4 Submission Endpoint <devnull+noralf.tronnes.org@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Noralf Trønnes <noralf@xxxxxxxxxxx>

If a framebuffer flush fails the driver will do one retry by requeing the
worker. Currently the worker is used even for synchronous flushing, but a
later patch will inline it, so this needs to change. Thinking about how to
solve this I came to the conclusion that this retry mechanism was a fix
for a problem that was only in the mind of the developer (me) and not
something that solved a real problem.

So let's remove this for now and revisit later should it become necessary.
gud_add_damage() has now only one caller so it can be inlined.
