[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 12/16] drm/i915: Reorder ctx unref on ppgtt cleanup

[Ben Widawsky]

The comment [which was mine] is wrong. The context object can never be
bound in a PPGTT because it is only capable of living in the Global GTT.
So, remove the comment, and reorder the unref. What's nice about the
latter is it keeps the context object alive past the PPGTT. This makes
the destroy ordering symmetric with the creation ordering.

Create:
1. Create context
2. Create PPGTT

Destroy:
1. Destroy PPGTT
2. Destroy context

As far as I know, this does not fix a bug. The code previously kept the
context data structure, only the object was gone. As the code was,
nothing tried to use the object after this point.

NOTE: If in the future we have cases where the PPGTT can/should outlive
the context (which doesn't occur today, but the code permits it), this
ordering does not matter. Even if this occurs, as it stands now, we do
not expect that to be the normal case, and having this order makes
debugging a bit easier if we're tracking object lifetimes for the
context vs ppgtt
