[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] lockdep: finer-grained completion key for kthread

Ideally we'd create the key through a macro at the real callers and
pass it all the way down. This would give us better coverage for cases
where a bunch of kthreads are created for the same thing.
But this gets the job done meanwhile and unblocks our CI. Refining
later on is always possible.
