[Impact]
Noise-like lines of graphics corruption when moving windows in Xorg
sessions.

[Fix]
Revert "UBUNTU: SAUCE: drm/i915: Synchronize active and retire
callbacks".

[Test]
Daniel van Vugt confirmed reverting the commit fixes the issue.
I can also reproduce the issue on one of my system, I can confirm it
fixes the issue too.

[Where problems could occur]
Race condition the commit solves may appear again.
However it was to solve the issue on 5.4, and the race could already be
solved on 5.8.
