[PATCH 07/27] drm/i915/guc: Don't call switch_to_kernel_context with GuC submission

[Matthew Brost]

Calling switch_to_kernel_context isn't needed if the engine PM reference
is taken while all contexts are pinned. By not calling
switch_to_kernel_context we save on issuing a request to the engine.

v2:
 (Daniel Vetter)
  - Add FIXME comment about pushing switch_to_kernel_context to backend
