Kinda a leftover from restructuring, the selection and reservation were
a different thing at some point. Changed into GEM_BUG_ON.

Ack, add a follow-up on top of your series.

Renamed.

The functions don't actually even touch doorbell_bitmap, they just nuke
all active clients. That's what the previous code did, as I read it.

Clearing the bits now in guc_init_doorbell_hw().

Hmm, refactored the extra destroy cycle out.

Removed.

Refactored a bit.
