If a framebuffer flush fails the driver will do one retry by requeing the worker. Currently the worker is used even for synchronous flushing, but a later patch will inline it, so this needs to change. Thinking about how to solve this I came to the conclusion that this retry mechanism was a fix for a problem that was only in the mind of the developer (me) and not something that solved a real problem. So let's remove this for now and revisit later should it become necessary. gud_add_damage() has now only one caller so it can be inlined.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
