Is it still true that we could retire requests on this path? I see that
currently we will retire requests via:
i915_vma_unbind -> i915_gem_object_finish_gpu -> i915_gem_object_wait_rendering.

But we've taken the explicit request retirement out of the wait_rendering path.
Have I missed somewhere that it could still happen?

Thanks,
Brad
