drm/i915/gt: Drop the timeline->mutex as we wait for retirement
As we have pinned the timeline (using tl->active_count), we can safely drop the tl->mutex as we wait for what we believe to be the final request on that timeline. This is useful for ensuring that we do not block the engine heartbeat by hogging the kernel_context's timeline on a dead GPU.
