I had a patch which piggypacked engine->reset_hw(engine, NULL) to do
the dirty work of stopping the ring. But the stop_ring of()
intel_ringbuffer.c was giving up halfway if it didn't find
idling the ring succesful, leaving head/tail intact.
And that was on the prepare reset path. The boon was that
it stopped the rings before killing the tasklet.

But I decided to do more surgical approach directy on top of
reset. If we find another gen which is suspectible, we might
want to either piggypack on reset_hw or do a engine->stop_ring()
and use it in prepare for reset path.

Spinning batches in general seem to go idle nice, but gem_ringfill
will spew out that ring_stop timeout debug.

Thanks for review. Patch pushed.
