This series adds a delay before disabling scheduling of the guc-context
when a context has become idle to avoid costly re-registration that may
occur immediately after. The 2nd patch should explain it quite well.

The origin of this series was posted by Matthew Brost back in Oct 2021
(https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/96167/). However no real
world workload performance impact was available until recently proving
it's intended results.

This series is a redo of a prior patch that was reverted:
2ccddb758079d0c62ce03e69ee8929bb212f7799 drm/i915/guc: Add delay to
disable scheduling after pin count goes to zero

The cause for the reversion is now fixed here (was not caught due to
issues with CI reporting at that time). Two additional changes included
in this redo:
 - Resolve race between guc_request_alloc and guc_context_close in
completing the delayed disable-guc-scheduling worker.
 - GT Reset flow properly closing contexts that were pending for the
