Looks extremely weird way of going about it. If you want to do a double
reset after the first try fails, try

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_reset.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_reset.c
index 4e5826045cbf..6fe137d7d455 100644

                        preempt_disable();

                        preempt_enable();
                }
                if (ret != -ETIMEDOUT || engine_mask != ALL_ENGINES)

as a separate patch.

P.S. you really need to review the i915_reset.c patch ;)
