Provide some serialisation between user operations by waiting for the

I've spotted that the kerneldoc for wait_on_bit says "One uses
wait_on_bit() where one is waiting for the bit to clear, but has no
intention of setting it."

That describes the above.

I assume this is to avoid races, which it seems this new wait also
doesn't avoid. Should it grab struct mutex across wait and
handle_error? Or if not possible what is the benefit of the patch,
just something to help IGT? Could we instead have IGT wait on the
reset in progress status itself by exporting the status? (If we
don't already, haven't looked.)

The primary purpose is so that the write doesn't return until the reset
it kicked (or joined) is complete. Since that is the intended
side-effect of writing into i915_wedged, it made sense to me.

LOL, I've read the patch as wait_on_bit followed by i915_handle_error...
