Knowing that GuC will be reset soon, we may stop all communication
immediately without doing graceful cleanup as it is not needed.

The difference between stop and disable is that it avoids the
serialisation, right? Is this patch still required -- do we still
need the complication in two similar but subtly different paths?

This patch helps us capture any unwanted/unexpected attempts to talk
with GuC after we decided to reset it. We need 'disable' part as current
and upcoming firmware still expects us to do graceful cleanup. This may
be changed in the future releases. And we can use 'disable' as this will
break atomic_reset tests.
