drm/sched: Allow using a dedicated workqueue for the timeout/fault tdr



Mali Midgard/Bifrost GPUs have 3 hardware queues but only a global GPU
reset. This leads to extra complexity when we need to synchronize timeout
works with the reset work. One solution to address that is to have an
ordered workqueue at the driver level that will be used by the different
schedulers to queue their timeout work. Thanks to the serialization
provided by the ordered workqueue we are guaranteed that timeout
handlers are executed sequentially, and can thus easily reset the GPU
from the timeout handler without extra synchronization.

v5:
* Add a new paragraph to the timedout_job() method

v3:
* New patch

v4:
* Actually use the timeout_wq to queue the timeout work
