How is the bug that this commit fixes triggered? Reverting this change seems to
fix [1] which, if I understand correctly, is caused by the atomic commit of
set_dpms() to be waiting for the dummy write to the frontbuffer complete, while 
the spin batch never ends since the test is blocked and so doesn't handle the
timer signal.

That is actually a kernel regression (that I'm responsible for). However
it raises a good point that we don't actually want to interrupt the
modeset to handle the signal in this case, otherwise the interrupt
modeset and when it restarts, it will find it doesn't have to wait -
invalidating our test that it can wait for completion. Hmm, that affects
all users.  We want to delegate that task to a thread/child to avoid
interrupting the syscall and perturbing the actual code under test.
