From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@xxxxxxxxx>
In GuC mode submitting requests is only putting them into the
GuC queue with the actual submission to hardware following at
some future point. This makes the per engine last context
tracking insufficient for closing the premature context
unpin race.
Instead we need to make requests track and pin the previous
context on the same engine, and only unpin them when they
themselves are retired. This will ensure contexts remain pinned
in all cases until the are fully saved by the GPU.
v2: Only track contexts.
v3: Limit to GuC for now.
