During igt_reset_nop_engine, it was observed that an unexpected failed
engine reset lead to us busywaiting on the stop-ring semaphore (set
during the reset preparations) on the first request afterwards. There was
no explicit MI_ARB_CHECK in this sequence as the presumption was that
the failed MI_SEMAPHORE_WAIT would itself act as an arbitration point.
It did not in this circumstance, so force it.

In other words MI_SEMAPHORE_POLL is not a preemption point? Can't remember if I knew that or not..

1)
Why not the same handling in !gen12 version?

2)
Failed reset leads to busy-hang in following request _tail_? But there is an arb check at the start of following request as well. Or in cases where we context switch into the middle of a previously executing request?

But why would that busy hang? Hasn't the failed request unpaused the ring?
