Even better would be to push the modeset out of the subtests into
igt_fixtures, so that we can amortize them over all subtests. Since
somewhen in the future CI will run tests binaries-at-a-time, instead of
subtests.

That means we won't test all combinations of crtc/output, but for all the
hw I know there's no difference really. Timestamps are a different story,
but these tests here don't check for that.

And yes we need to make these tests faster, especially on gen9 kms takes
too long.

Either way this improves a lot already, on both patches:
