[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 03/12] drm/i915/guc: Do not wait for firmware load atomically

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin at intel.com>

It does not look like this code needs to wait atomically?

Higher in the call chain it calls the GEM API and I do
not see that the section is under any spin locks or such.
