broken descriptor is really separate issue compared to no progress from
GuC side, I would really like to keep old error code

note that broken CTB descriptor is unrecoverable error, while on other
hand, in theory, we could recover from temporary non-moving CTB

nit: maybe we should make it a CONFIG value ?

likely, instead of duplicating code, you can reuse has_room_nb here
