[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/gt: Prevent queuing retire workers on the virtual engine

[Chris Wilson]

Virtual engines are fleeting. They carry a reference count and may be freed
when their last request is retired. This makes them unsuitable for the
task of housing engine->retire.work so assert that it is not used.

Tvrtko tracked down an instance where we did indeed violate this rule.
In virtal_submit_request, we flush a completed request directly with
__i915_request_submit and this causes us to queue that request on the
veng's breadcrumb list and signal it. Leading us down a path where we
should not attach the retire.
