Basically the tasklet won't get queued in certain ituations until the
heartbeat ping. Didn't notice it as the tasklet is only used during flow
control or after a full GT reset which both are rather rare. We can
probably drop the fixes tag as GuC submission isn't on by default is
still works without this fix.

I guess it could be:

bool kick = need_taklet()

if (kick)
	queue_requst()
else
	kick = bypass()
if (kick)
	kick_tasklet()

Idk, it that is better? I'll think on this and decide before the next
post.
