No, because we abort i915_gem_init_rings(). This is an exceptional error
path and I think just fixing up the errno here is simplest. All other
paths should barf before they touch the ring thanks to
intel_ring_begin(). The only difficulty here is that we need to
differentiate between two different types of error. (Note that even UXA
should be checking for a dead GPU before it tries execbuffer, in this
case, at least since it started trying to not die randomly.) So I am
just arguing from an interface correctness pov.
