The issue was found by Intel IGT test suite, graphic by pass test case.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools
normally use case will not see the issue. 
To avoid this issue happy again when we run the test case , it will be nice to add a check before the transfer is called.
And we can see that it really needs to have a check here to make ITG &kernel happy.
