Add some nop instructions between recursive batch buffer start calls to
give system some breathing room. Without these, especially when coupled
with memory pressure, false GPU hangs can be observed caused by the
inability of the chip to cope.

Doesn't seem to be required. And the machines most susceptible to timer
errors due to busyspin have not show the issue.

With the memory pressure subtest, the second patch in this series, it was make it or break it to have the nops. Without them it was GPU hangs all around, and with them so far all clean.

Tvrtko
