I wonder if we really need to have such granularity? Leaving only 
i915_request_create_locked and removing __i915_request_create_locked 
would simplify little bit the code,
I guess the cost of calling intel_context_assert_timeline_is_locked 
twice sometimes is not big, or maybe it can be re-arranged, up to you.
