Yep, def an issue with the GuC firmware behavior. Will get fixed, just
not sure when.

Comments written prior to confirmation that GuC behavior was wrong, will
reword.

Ty. I'll think we have to carry this until we upgrade the GuC firmware
with a the proper behavior - until then without this workaround
canceling non-preemptable requests is 100% broken, hence why I added a
selftest. Will add a FIXME / XXX comment so we can remove this in the
future.
