stop_machine is not really a locking primitive we should use, except
when the hw folks tell us the hw is broken and that's the only way to
work around it.
This patch here is just a suggestion for how to fix it up, possible
changes needed to make it actually work:
- Set the nop_submit_request first for _all_ engines, before
proceeding.
- Make sure engine->cancel_requests copes with the possibility that
not all tests have consistently used the new or old version. I dont
think this is a problem, since the same can happen really with the
stop_machine() locking - stop_machine also doesn't give you any kind
of global ordering against other cpu threads, it just makes them
stop.
This patch tries to address the locking snafu from

drm/i915: Stop the machine as we install the wedged submit_request handler
Chris said parts of the reasons for going with stop_machine() was that
it's no overhead for the fast-path. But these callbacks use irqsave
spinlocks and do a bunch of MMIO, and rcu_read_lock is _real_ fast.
