Subject: [PATCH 4.10 04/29] drm/i915: Squelch any ktime/jiffie rounding errors for wait-ioctl

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

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

From: Chris Wilson <chris@...is-wilson.co.uk>

commit 89cf83d4e065ff9fbd2ddc674489c8058eeca758 upstream.

We wait upon jiffies, but report the time elapsed using a
high-resolution timer. This discrepancy can lead to us timing out the
wait prior to us reporting the elapsed time as complete.

This restores the squelching lost in commit e95433c73a11 ("drm/i915:
Rearrange i915_wait_request() accounting with callers").

Fixes: e95433c73a11 ("drm/i915: Rearrange i915_wait_request() accounting with callers")
