[REGRESSION] system hang on ILK/SNB/IVB

[Gabriel Feceoru <gabriel.feceoru@intel.com>]

This commit causes a hang while running kms suspend tests 
(kms_pipe_crc_basic@suspend-read-crc-pipe-*) on ILK/SNB/IVB, affecting CI.

Probably the same problem with the one in v2, but on older HW.

     drm/i915: Fix races on fbdev

     The ->lastclose callback invokes intel_fbdev_restore_mode() and has
     been witnessed to run before intel_fbdev_initial_config_async()
     has finished.

     We might likewise receive hotplug events before we've had a chance to
     fully set up the fbdev.

     Fix by waiting for the asynchronous thread to finish.

     v2:
     An async_synchronize_full() was also added to intel_fbdev_set_suspend()
     in v1 which turned out to be entirely gratuitous. It caused a deadlock
     on suspend (discovered by CI, thanks to Damien Lespiau and Tomi Sarvela
     for CI support) and was unnecessary since a device is never suspended
     until its ->probe callback (and all asynchronous tasks it scheduled)
     have finished. See dpm_prepare(), which calls wait_for_device_probe(),
     which calls async_synchronize_full().
