When timeout_ns is negative, it really means to wait indefinitely instead of
returning immediately.  But since userspace can no longer rely on that, I am
not sure if there is any point fixing it.

Note that userspace may use GL_TIMEOUT_IGNORED for timeout_ns to wait
indefinitely.  The macro is defined to

#define GL_TIMEOUT_IGNORED                0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFull

Prior to 3.17, the kernel would behave as expected.  But on 3.17, it would
return immediately with -ETIME if the bo is busy.

That sounds like a regression, for which we need a testcase in igt and a
special-case in our wait ioctl to make sure that we have an infinite
timeout for this input value. Can you please take care of both?

I guess we could also restore the bevahiour for negative timeouts, just
for the sake of it. Would again need a testcase though. Also note that
I've recently refactored the wait ioctl testcase, so adding new subtests
should be a lot easier now.

Thanks, Daniel
