... instead of looping endless with no hope of ever serving that
page-fault. We only need to break out of this loop when the gpu died,
to run the reset work (and hopefully resurrect it).

This seems to have been lost in:

To clarify questions Chris raised on irc: This is about handling I/O
errors not from our own code, but e.g. when the disk died when trying to
swap in a gem bo. So this patch remidies the issue that the current
handling only handles gpu-death-induced cases of -EIO. Admittedly, dying
disks are much rarer than hanging gpus ...

I'll add that blurb to the commit.
