drm/i915: Tighten reset_counter for reset status



In the reset_counter, we use two bits to track a GPU hang and reset. The
low bit is a "reset-in-progress" flag that we set to signal when we need
to break waiters in order for the recovery task to grab the mutex. As
soon as the recovery task has the mutex, we can clear that flag (which
we do by incrementing the reset_counter thereby incrementing the gobal
reset epoch). By clearing that flag when the recovery task holds the
struct_mutex, we can forgo a second flag that simply tells GEM to ignore
the "reset-in-progress" flag.

The second flag we store in the reset_counter is whether the
reset failed and we consider the GPU terminally wedged. Whilst this flag
is set, all access to the GPU (at least through GEM rather than direct mmio
access) is verboten.

PS: Fun is in store, as in the future we want to move from a global
reset epoch to a per-engine reset engine with request recovery.
