This started as a patch to avoid returning -EAGAIN from intel_ring_begin
if mm.interruptible == false. After having added the same return -EIO
logic at a few places, I've noticed that I might as well shove it into
check_wedge and also call check_wedge from __wait_seqno (the older patch
check the retvalues at a few places instead).

Splitting this up would leave is in a state where we avoid returning
-EAGAIN at a few places within the functions called by intel_ring_begin,
but not all of them. Hence I think this should be all in one patch.
