drm/i915/gem: Require per-engine reset support for non-persistent contexts

Browse Source 
To enable non-persistent contexts, we require a means of cancelling any
inflight work from that context. This is first done "gracefully" by
using preemption to kick the active context off the engine, and then
forcefully by resetting the engine if it is active. If we are unable to
reset the engine to remove hostile userspace, we should not allow
userspace to opt into using non-persistent contexts.

If the per-engine reset fails, we still do a full GPU reset, but that is
rare and usually indicative of much deeper issues. The damage is already
done. However, the goal of the interface to allow long running compute
jobs without causing collateral damage elsewhere, and if we are unable
to support that we should make that known by not providing the
interface (and falsely pretending we can).
