There's a race between idling the engine and finishing off the last
tasklet (as we may kick the tasklets after declaring an individual
engine idle). However, since we do not need to access the device until
we try to submit to the ELSP register (processing the CSB just requires
normal CPU access to the HWSP, and when idle we should not need to
submit!) we can defer the assertion unto that point. The assertion is
still useful as it does verify that we do hold the longterm GT wakeref
taken from request allocation until request completion.

Why we won't hit the assert on the elsp submit side now? AFAIR the
discussion about this particular line concluded that direct tasklet call
can race with busy->idle transition. So even is process_csb doens't need
the assert, that part I get, the part about the race now again bothers
me. Perhaps I just forgot what I thought I understood back then.. :(
Should this call process_csb only if !gt.awake? But sounds terribly
dodgy.. Why would execlists.active be set if we are not awake..
