Since wait_for_atomic doesn't re-check the wait-for condition after

wait_for_atomic is indeed only safe to be called from atomic context.
Likewise, wait_for is only safe to called from !atomic context.
I noticed this via the PLL locking timing out incorrectly, with this fix
I couldn't reproduce the problem.
Fixes: 0351b93992aa ("drm/i915: Do not lie about atomic timeout granularity")
The bug would be using wait_for_atomic from non-atomic context, and so
older.

Does this work with CONFIG_I915_DEBUG and CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP ?
CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT is also required.
There were a bunch of these WARNs triggering in various places. I think
I had patches to fix them but at the same time Mika had a more
comprehensive work in progress for the whole area. I suppose that just
got delayed to much.
AFAIR the meat of the discussion was what is more important - sleep
granularity or timeout accuracy. I preferred the former to avoid waiting
for too long for operations which are normally much quicker than a
jiffie and normally succeed.
Another issue if wait_for_us for sleeps < 10us is not the most efficient
implementation. So another idea I had is to implement those via the
wait_for_atomic but without the in_atomic WARN. And obviously now after
Imre found this with the extra cond check as well.
So I think Imre's patches are good in principle, should go in, and
probably afterwards we can talk about improving wait_for_us for timeouts
under 10us and potentially the timeout precision as well.
