But we already have that flag in contexts! It also happens to be useful
for other tracking as well. And we demonstrated that we didn't even need
the checks for the kernel context anyway.
You will also note this is a small stepping patch after which we
transition away from i915_address_space.is_ggtt to using the owner.
