Subject: drm/i915: Pass timeout==0 on to i915_gem_object_wait_fence()

From: Chris Wilson <[email protected]>

commit 636deb5b2277cf57bb0f5e00fc9687de9a96061e upstream.

The i915_gem_object_wait_fence() uses an incoming timeout=0 to query whether the current fence is busy or idle, without waiting. This can be used by the wait-ioctl to implement a busy query.

Testcase: igt/gem_wait/basic-busy-write-all
