Subject: [PATCH 3.14 056/238] drm/vmwgfx: Fix a potential infinite spin waiting for fifo idle

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@...are.com>

commit f01ea0c3d9db536c64d47922716d8b3b8f21d850 upstream.

The code waiting for fifo idle was incorrect and could possibly spin
forever under certain circumstances.
