drm/i915/fence: Avoid del_timer_sync() from inside a timer

A fence may be signaled from any context, including from inside a timer.
One example is timer_i915_sw_fence_wake() which is used to provide a
safety-net when waiting on an external fence. If the external fence is
not signaled within a timely fashion, we signal our fence on its behalf,
and so we then may process subsequent fences in the chain from within
that timer context.

Given that dma_i915_sw_fence_wake() may be from inside a timer, we cannot
then use del_timer_sync() as that requires the timer lock for itself. To
circumvent this, while trying to keep the signal propagation as low
latency as possible, move the completion into a worker and use a bit of
atomic switheroo to serialise the timer-callback and the dma-callback.
