But not here though. Since this is the path that has to wake up the
device itself, pin the context (eventually run retirement, handle
allocation fallback) and not presume the caller already has (or will).

Inside i915_require_create we do have the assert that the device is
awake, which should be has GT wakeref instead. (Note, not GEM wakeref at
this point, that's the troubling bit.)

Post snip: Saw the connected argument.
