Konsta Hölttä 8736c0d467 gpu: nvgpu: add and use sw-only timers ...

The nvgpu timeout API has an internal override for presilicon mode by
default: in presi simulation environments the timeouts never trigger.
This behaviour is intended in the original usecase of the timer unit
with hardware polling loops. In pure software logic though, the timer
must trigger after the specified timeout even in presi mode so add a new
init function to produce a timer for software logic. Use this new kind
of timer in channel and scheduling worker threads.

The channel worker currently times out for just the purpose of the
channel watchdog timer which has its own internal timer. Although that's
just software, the general expectation is that the watchdog does not
trigger in presilicon tests that run slower than usual. The internal
watchdog timer thus keeps the non-sw mode.
