[Intel-gfx] [CI 08/14] drm/i915/selftests: Force a rewind if at first we don't succeed

[Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>]

live_timeslice_rewind assumes a particular traversal and reordering
after the first timeslice yield. However, the outcome can be either
(A1, A2, B1) or (A1, B2, A2) depending on the path taken through the
dependency graph. So if we do not get the outcome we need at first, give
it a priority kick to force a rewind.
