I assume that i915_gem_throttle_ioctl->i915_gem_ring_throttle is stuck
in i915_wait_request(), holding struct_mutex. That of course makes
keventd block.
Perhaps i915_wait_request() is waiting for keventd to do something,
which is the deadlock. That "something" could be to simply finish its
current call to i915_gem_retire_work_handler().
But worse, it could be some completely other keventd handler which
isn't getting run, because that keventd instance is stuck over in
i915_gem_retire_work_handler().
IOW, the usual keventd problem.
