Rodrigo Vivi 347ccc0453 drm/xe: fix job timeout recovery for unstarted jobs and kernel queues
A job that GuC never scheduled (never started) indicates a GuC
scheduling failure; previously such jobs were silently errored out
instead of triggering a GT reset to recover. Trigger a GT reset and
resubmit them, but only when the queue was not already killed or banned:
an unstarted job on an already banned queue is the ban working as
intended and must neither clear the ban nor kick off a reset, otherwise
a banned userspace queue could be resurrected and spam GT resets.

Kernel queues are always recovered this way and wedge the device once
recovery attempts are exhausted, since kernel work must not silently
fail. A started job that times out on a userspace VM bind queue stays
banned rather than being reset and retried.

The queue is banned early in the timeout handler to signal the G2H
scheduling-done handler so it wakes the disable-scheduling waiter;
without it the waiter sleeps the full 5s timeout. When a reset is
warranted the ban is cleared before rearming so that
guc_exec_queue_start() can resubmit jobs after the GT reset - a
still-banned queue would block resubmission and cause an infinite TDR
loop. The already-banned case is gated out before this point via
skip_timeout_check, so it is unaffected.

v2: (Himal) Do it for any queue type, not just kernel/migration
v3: - (Sashiko and Sanjay): don't clear the ban / GT reset for already
      killed/banned queues on unstarted-job timeout

Linux kernel
============

The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware,
system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.

Quick Start
-----------

* Report a bug: See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
