Blocking in a worker is ok, that's what the unbound_wq is for. And it
unifies the paths between the blocking and nonblocking commit, giving
me just one path where I have to implement the deadlock avoidance
trickery in the next patch.

I first tried to implement the following patch without this rework, but
force-completing i915_sw_fence creates some serious challenges around
properly cleaning things up. So wasn't a feasible short-term approach.
Another approach would be to simple keep track of all pending atomic
commit work items and manually queue them from the reset code. With the
caveat that double-queue in case we race with the i915_sw_fence must be
avoided. Given all that, taking the cost of a double schedule in atomic
for the short-term fix is the best approach, but can be changed in the
future of course.

v2: Amend commit message (Chris).

I would add a small comment here, because later-on if someone has doubts
(and use git-blame), it won't be visible that something changed (the case
and break were added by the same commit).

Hm, not sure what comment I should put here? Suggestions? Only thing I
could come up with was

	/* we do blocking waits in the worker, nothing to do here */

But not sure that adds the information you're looking for.

That sounds good to me, or maybe
"any blocking waits already handled in the worker"

But I think both are ok.
