How about?

/*
 * We have to check if the context has been pinned again as another pin
 * operation is allowed to pass this function. Checking the pin count,
 * within ce->guc_state.lock, synchronizes this function with
 * guc_request_alloc ensuring a request doesn't slip through the
 * 'context_pending_disable' fence. Checking within the spin lock (can't
 * sleep) ensures another process doesn't pin this context and generate
 * a request before we set the 'context_pending_disable' flag here.
