Disable engine barriers for unpinning with GuC. This feature isn't
needed with the GuC as it disables context scheduling before unpinning
which guarantees the HW will not reference the context. Hence it is
not necessary to defer unpinning until a kernel context request
completes on each engine in the context engine mask.

Would be better to have a scheduler flag to say whether barriers are
required or not. That would prevent polluting front end code with back
end details.
