This looks really scary, because in another loop below you have an
unconditional refcount increase. This means sometimes guc->context_lookup
xarray guarantees we hold a full reference on the context, sometimes we
don't. So we're right back in "protect the code" O(N^2) review complexity
instead of invariant rules about the datastructure, which is linear.

Essentially anytime you feel like you have to add a comment to explain
what's going on about concurrent stuff you're racing with, you're
protecting code, not data.

Since guc can't do a hole lot without the guc_id registered and all that,
I kinda expected you'd always have a full reference here. If there's
intermediate stages (e.g. around unregister) where this is currently not
always the case, then those should make sure a full reference is held.

Another option would be to threa ->context_lookup as a weak reference that
we lazily clean up when the context is finalized. That works too, but
probably not with a spinlock (since you most likely have to wait for all
pending guc transations to complete), but it's another option.

Either way I think standard process is needed here for locking design,
i.e.
1. come up with the right invariants ("we always have a full reference
when a context is ont he guc->context_lookup xarray")
2. come up with the locks. From the guc side the xa_lock is maybe good
enough, but from the context side this doesn't protect against a
re-registering racing against a deregistering. So probably needs more
rules on top, and then you have a nice lock inversion in a few places like
here.
3. document it and roll it out.

The other thing is that this is a very tricky iterator, and there's a few
copies of it. That is, if this is the right solution. As-is this should be
abstracted away into guc_context_iter_begin/next_end() helpers, e.g. like
we have for drm_connector_list_iter_begin/end_next as an example.

Cheers, Daniel
