Yeah, I didn't put it into execlists_hold() as thought that would be
clearer without it, and that this was more a side-effect of
process_csb() vs __unwind_incomplete_requests(), and didn't want to mix
up with the question of engine->active.lock

Agreed that execlists_capture() does not describe it well, so probably
shouldn't be called directly from here.

The serialisation here is on process_csb(), since we have prevented the
tasklet being called and own the reset on the engine, we know that
execlists_schedule_out() can't be called on this engine, and so we own
the virtual request. It's not protected by the engine->active.lock.

So happy with moving it to before the lock in execlists_hold()?
