The guc_retire_inflight_request_prio is called in intel_breadcrumbs.c 
signal_irq_work().

There is a similar situation

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gt/intel_breadcrumbs.c?h=v6.13-rc7#n255

There is also spin_(un)lock while potentially IRQs are disabled.

Should it also be addressed?
