Subject: [PATCH 1/2] drm/tests: Handle EDEADLK in drm_test_check_valid_clones()

Fedora/CentOS/RHEL CI is reporting intermittent failures while running
the drm_test_check_valid_clones() KUnit test.

The error log can be either [1]:

    # drm_test_check_valid_clones: ASSERTION FAILED at
    # drivers/gpu/drm/tests/drm_atomic_state_test.c:295
    Expected ret == param->expected_result, but
        ret == -35 (0xffffffffffffffdd)
        param->expected_result == 0 (0x0)

Or [2] depending on the test case:

    # drm_test_check_valid_clones: ASSERTION FAILED at
    # drivers/gpu/drm/tests/drm_atomic_state_test.c:295
    Expected ret == param->expected_result, but
        ret == -35 (0xffffffffffffffdd)
        param->expected_result == -22 (0xffffffffffffffea)

Restart the atomic sequence when EDEADLK is returned.
