I think this function is looking for the GT coming from the VM,
otherwise originally it could have taken it from &i915->gt. In my
first version I proposed a wrapper around this but it was
rejected by Lucas.

Besides, as we discussed earlier when I was proposed the static
allocation, the ggtt might not always be linked to the same gt,
so that I assumed that sometimes:

   to_gt(perf->i915)->ggtt->vm.gt != to_gt(perf->i915)

if two GTs are sharing the same ggtt, what would the ggtt->vm.gt
link be?

Thanks,
Andi
