Yes, we don't want to release the guc_id and deregister the context with
the GuC until the i915 is done with the context (no refs). We issue the
deregister when we have no refs (done directly now, add worker to do
this in a upcoming patch). We release the guc_id, remove from xarray, and
destroy context when the deregister completes.

Right, it is definitely can be called from nasty contexts hence why move
this to a work in an upcoming patch.
