    i915/gem_eio: Flush RCU before timing our own critical sections
    
    We cannot control how long RCU takes to find a quiescent point as that
    depends upon the background load and so may take an arbitrary time.
    Instead, let's try to avoid that impacting our measurements by inserting
    an rcu_barrier() before our critical timing sections and hope that hides
    the issue, letting us always perform a fast reset. Fwiw, we do the
    expedited RCU synchronize, but that is not always enough.

Let's be brave and like all the other times assume that this fixes it for real.
