continuing the discussion from the previous patch, I still think that we 
should rename this function now that it doesn't inject a context on some 
gens. A new function name should be relatively trivial to handle from 
other patch series hitting the area (compared to having a second function).

This comment does not match the check, since if the 
EXECLISTS_ACTIVE_HWACK is set it means we've received the hw ack, not 
that we're waiting for it. Personally I would just remove the BUG_ON 
since we don't really care about the value of HWACK as long as 
EXECLISTS_ACTIVE_PREEMPT is set, as the latter ensures us we're not 
going to submit work until the whole preempt process is complete. A 
BUG_ON for EXECLISTS_ACTIVE_PREEMPT is already in 
complete_preempt_context so we're covered on that side.

With the 2 minor comments addressed:
