fenced poll operation, leading to system denial of service.

("drm/vmwgfx: Cleanup fifo mmio handling") commit. Backport the fix
commit by ignore the context conflict and apply the changes.

Bionic: Sent to ESM mailing list.
Xenial: Sent to ESM mailing list.

[Test]
Due to lack of proper hardware, only compile and boot testing are
performed.

operations.
