[PATCH] drm/amdkfd: fix address watch clearing bug for gfx v9.4.2

There is not UNMAP_QUEUES command sending for queue preemption because 
the queue is suspended and test is closed to the end. Function 
unmap_queue_cpsch will do nothing after that.

The workaround is new and only for gfx v9.4.2, because debugger tests 
has changed to check if all address watch points are correctly set, i.e. 
test A sets more than one watchpoint and leave, the following test B 
only sets one watchpoint, and test A's setting will cause more than one 
watchpoint event, so test B check out and report error on second or 
third watchpoint not set by itself.

Regards,
Eric
