Yup i made a mistake runtime_suspend is not an atomic context, in actual
we are taking the forcewake in gt_suspend which calls the xe_pmu_suspend.

there are two cases here:
1. similar to suspend, we shall capture the register state before GT
goes to rc6 and that shall cover suspend case as well

2. in xe_pmu_event_read, we shall check if device is not in rc6 rather
than awake and read register but might have to take forcewake

for first I do not think we have a way to know in Xe if GT is entering
rc6 (like gt_park in i915).

even in kthread/timer we shall take forcewake only when GT is out of
rc6, but there is a problem our devices default autosuspend is in 1sec
so if we have a timer or kthread at msec the user shall also adjust the
autosuspend to ms or else device will never go to suspend as we take the
pm reference in mem_access_get.

Thanks,
Aravind.
