It grew out of walking along the engine without a request. Old habits.

Aye. Until we actually invoke the reset, the engine is still active and
so may have advanced. We call ring_set_paused() so it doesn't get too
far ahead, but that still lets the breadcrumb tick over, so it is still
possible for the active_request() to complete (but no more).

Because we are about to call intel_reset_engine(), so want some debug
clue as to why we got into a situation where we invoked the forced
preemption. I thought it might be useful to see the engine state, and to
drop the "oops, please file a bug request" because of the reset.

Reset -> reset_csb_pointers -> ring_set_paused(0).
