    In the past, there were similar failures reported by CI from other IGT
    tests, observed on other platforms.

    Before commit 63baf4f3d587 (drm/i915/gt: Only wait for GPU activity
    before unbinding a GGTT fence), i915_vma_revoke_fence() was waiting for
    idleness of vma->active via fence_update().   That commit introduced
    vma->fence->active in order for the fence_update() to be able to wait
    selectively on that one instead of vma->active since only idleness of
    fence registers was needed.  But then, another commit 0d86ee35097a
    (drm/i915/gt: Make fence revocation unequivocal) replaced the call to
    fence_update() in i915_vma_revoke_fence() with only fence_write(), and
    also added that GEM_BUG_ON(!i915_active_is_idle(&fence->active)) in front.
    No justification was provided on why we might then expect idleness of
    vma->fence->active without first waiting on it.

    The issue can be potentially caused by a race among revocation of fence
    registers on one side and sequential execution of signal callbacks invoked
    on completion of a request that was using them on the other, still
    processed in parallel to revocation of those fence registers.  Fix it by
    waiting for idleness of vma->fence->active in i915_vma_revoke_fence().
