It didn't become crucial until a later patch:

commit 4dfacb0bcbee79fa2ef4b2e9e64a8f8a28598934
Author: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Thu May 31 09:22:43 2018 +0100

    drm/i915: Switch to kernel context before idling at runtime

Before that patch we just occasionally emitted one more request that we
strictly required (bumping suspend times by a few microseconds). With
that patch, we would hit an infinite loop unless we applied the fix.

So while it did fix a recent bug, impact is minimal.
