The first thing the active retirement worker does is decrement the i915_active count. The first thing we do during i915_active_wait is try to increment the i915_active count, but only if already active [non-zero]. The wait may see that the retirement is already started and so marked the i915_active as idle, and skip waiting for the retirement handler. However, the caller of i915_active_wait may immediately free the i915_active upon returning (e.g. i915_vma_destroy) so we must not return before the concurrent access from the worker are completed. We must always flush the worker.
