Daniel Vetter 9cca306880 drm/i915: Handle inaccurate time conversion issues
So apparently jiffies<->nsec<->ktime isn't accurate or something. At
elast if we timeout there's occasionally still a few hundred us left
(in a 2 second timeout).

Stuff I've tried and thrown out again:
- Sampling the before timestamp before jiffies. Doesn't improve test
  path rate at all.
- Using jiffies. Way to inaccurate, which means way too much drift
  with signals plus automatic ioctl restarting in userspace. In
  hindsight we should have used an absolute timeout, but hey we need
  something for v3 of the i915 gem wait interfaces ;-)
- Trying to figure out where accuracy gets lost. gl testcase really
  don't care all that much about this (as long as isn't not massively
  off), it's just that the testcase gets a bit upset if it receives an
  EITME with timeout > 0.

So as long as we're in the ballbark it's good enough. So patch
everything up if we're at most one jiffies off. I get's me a solid
test again.

This regression is probably introduced in

    drm: i915: Use nsec based interfaces

    Use ktime_get_raw_ns() and get rid of the back and forth timespec
    conversions.

Probably because I'm too lazy to confirm myself and still waiting for
QA ;-)
