From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com>

When a non-persistent context exits we currently mark it as banned in
order to trigger fast termination of any outstanding GPU jobs it may have
left running.

In doing so we apply a very strict 1ms limit in which the left over job
has to preempt before we issues an engine resets.

Some workloads are not able to cleanly preempt in that time window and it
can be argued that it would instead be better to give them a bit more
grace since avoiding engine resets is generally preferrable.

To achieve this the patch splits handling of banned contexts from simply
closed non-persistent ones and then applies different timeouts for both
and also extends the criteria which determines if a request should be
scheduled back in after preemption or not.

15ms preempt timeout grace is given to exited non-persistent contexts
which have been empirically tested to satisfy customers requirements
and still provides reasonably quick cleanup post exit.

v2:
 * Streamline fast path checks.

v3:
 * Simplify by using only schedulable status.
 * Increase timeout to 20ms.

v4:
 * Fix live_execlists selftest.

v5:
 * Fix logic in kill_engines.

v6:
 * Rebase.
