drm/i915: fix hpd work vs. flush_work in the pageflip code deadlock

Browse Source 
Historically we've run our own driver hotplug handling in our own
work-queue, which then launched the drm core hotplug handling in the
system workqueue. This is important since we flush our own driver
workqueue in the pageflip code while hodling modeset locks, and only
the drm hotplug code grabbed these locks. But with

    drm: run the hpd irq event code directly

this was changed and now we could deadlock in our flip handler if
there's a hotplug work blocking the progress of the crucial unpin
works. So this broke the careful deadlock avoidance implemented in

    drm/i915: Flush outstanding unpin tasks before pageflipping

Since the rule thus far has been that work items on our own workqueue
may never grab modeset locks simply restore that rule again.

v2: Add a comment to the declaration of dev_priv->wq to warn readers
about the tricky implications of using it. Suggested by Chris Wilson.

[danvet: Squash in a comment at the place where we schedule the work.
Requested after-the-fact by Chris on irc since the hpd work isn't the
only place we botch this.]
