    drm/i915: Inifite timeout for wait ioctl · eac1f14f

    Change the ns_timeout parameter of the wait ioctl to a signed value.
    Doing this allows the kernel to provide an infinite wait when a timeout
    of less than 0 is provided. This mimics select/poll.
    
    Initially the parameter was meant to match up with the GL spec 1:1, but
    after being made aware of how much 2^64 - 1 nanoseconds actually is, I
    do not think anyone will ever notice the loss of 1 bit.
    
    The infinite timeout on waiting is similar to the existing i915
    userspace interface with the exception that struct_mutex is dropped
    while doing the wait in this ioctl.
