[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t v4] tests/i915/gem_ppgtt: verify GTT eviction with contended locks

Matthew Auld

We should still be able to GTT evict objects during execbuf (old
bindings can linger around), even if there is object lock contention. In
the worst case the execbuf should just wait on the contented locks.
Returning -ENOSPC smells like a regression from past behaviour, and
seems to break userspace.

v2:
- Add coverage for explicit softpin
- Add timeout for the spinner
v3:
- Improve the test description
v4: (Nirmoy)
- We only need one handle2
- Prefer NSEC_PER_SEC
