Final enablement patch for GPU hang recovery using watchdog timeout.
Added execbuf flag for watchdog timeout in DRM kernel interface.

Usual argument: per-batch or per-context flag? What's the use case being
consider that would favour one approach or another. That usecase should
be explained in the changelog so that we can be reminded of it again
later.

It is per-batch, user expects certain workloads to be completed before watchdog times out hence it is per-batch. This is mainly used for media workloads, don't know the exact usecase but I guess encode/decode work of frame to complete within a short time etc. I will add these details to commit msg.
