intel_csr_ucode_init schedules a worker to actually load the firmware so 
unless I am missing some synchronisation point it can happen.

Simpler solution would be to only base the NEEDS_CSR_GT_PERF_WA on 
HAS_CSR, but then if someone removes the firmware deliberately we lose 
power keeping this power well up needlessly, no?
