[Intel-xe] [PATCH v7 4/7] drm/xe/ct: tweak lock ordering for freq_lock

Lockdep spits out:

Possible unsafe locking scenario:
   CPU0				CPU1
   ----				----
   lock(&xe->mem_access.lock);
				lock(&pc->freq_lock);
				lock(&xe->mem_access.lock);
   lock(&pc->freq_lock);

It looks like we already mostly take care to ensure that the mem_access
ref is taken outside of taking freq_lock, since that is also grabbed
from the runtime_pm callbacks, except for one spot in guc_ct_send_recv()
which was grabbing the mem_access ref, even though the caller is already
holding freq_lock. It looks like all the callers are already holding the
mem_access.ref, so just switch over to use guc_ct_send_locked().
