gpu: nvgpu: Allow semaphores to be force released

Allow SW to force a semaphore release. Typically SW waits for a
semaphore to reach the value right before the semaphore release
value before doing a release. For example, assuming a semaphore
is to be released by SW by writing a 10 into the semaphore, the
code waits for the semaphore to get to 9 before writing 10.

The problem with this happens when trying to shutdown the GPU
unexpectedly. When aborting a channel after the GPU has terminated
the GPU is potantially no longer processing anything. If a SW
semaphore release is waiting on the semaphore to reach N-1 before
writing N to the semaphore N-1 may never get written by the GPU.
This obviously causes a hang in the SW shutdown. The solution is
to let SW force a semaphore release in the channel_abort case.
