Actually, in i915 we use asynchronous destruction of contexts and so
immediately release the resources and can reallocate as required. But
amdgpu uses synchronous context destruction and so we have to hold on to
the context even though we only want to import the fence into i915.

If we run out of contexts here with i915 (even on icl), it's a kernel
bug.
