We can forgo queuing the hangcheck from the start of every request to until we wait upon a request. This reduces the overhead of every request, but may increase the latency of detecting a hang. Howeever, if nothing every waits upon a hang, did it ever hang? It also improves the
Maybe it is better to detect and reset sooner rather than later in case the hang is burning power and may now only get looked at at some random time in the future? It is probably quite weak argument but it came to mind.
robustness of the wait-request by ensuring that the hangchecker is indeed running before we sleep indefinitely (and thereby ensuring that we never actually sleep forever waiting for a dead GPU).

With a disclaimer that I don't really know hangcheck - it looks that previously it was getting re-queued all the time until the engine when idle, regardless of if there were waiters. With this change it looks like that is gone. If there are no waiters it won't get re-queued. How does incrementing the hangcheck score work now?
