hmm, GuC shouldn't do that on CLIENT_RESET, GuC shall only mark CTB as
UNUSED when we explicitly disable CTB using CONTROL_CTB as only then CTB
descriptors are known to be valid

we should have already marked locally that CTB is disabled, either as
part of the explicit disabling of CTB with CONTROL_CTB, or implicit due
to issued CLIENT_RESET, but in both cases we shouldn't try to read CTB
any more, even it there are any outstanding messages ...

is this due to a race with ct->enabled ?

nit: our goal was to use plain C definitions in ABI headers as much as
possible without introducing any dependency on external macros

do you really want to continue read messages from already disabled CTB ?
maybe instead of clearing GUC_CTB_STATUS_UNUSED bit we should just return?
