drm/i915: Wait for the GPU whilst shrinking, if truly desperate.
By idling the GPU and discarding everything we can when under extreme memory pressure, the number of OOM-killer events is dramatically reduced. For instance, this makes it possible to run firefox-planet-gnome.trace again on my swapless 512MiB i915.
