For me, that still doesn't explain why we are free to request PPGTT
lock subclass, not the one dedicated to GGTT as the comment suggests I
believe, when locking GGTT vm only because that GGTT vm is closed.

As I haven't found this explanation sufficiently clear for me, I've had
a closer look as my homework.  As a result, I think the answer why this
may be safe can be found in commits b6422694c585 ("drm/i915/gt: Only
wait for register chipset flush if active") and 0d86ee35097a
("drm/i915/gt: Make fence revocation unequivocal").
