[Intel-xe] [PATCH v9 6/8] drm/xe/ct: drop mem_access_get from g2h_worker_func()

In the next patch we track the current task executing the runtime_pm
callbacks, if any, in order to prevent the runtime_pm code waiting for
itself and deadlocking when called from the callbacks. However with
g2h_worker_func() we are processing g2h packets from a workqueue when
receiving an interrupt. The runtime callbacks needs to talk to the GuC
and so rely on this, however since these are processed from a workqueue
the current task will be different and when calling something like
mem_access_get() we deadlock. Callers should in theory already be
holding an access.ref when talking to the GuC (CT communication looks to
be disabled when suspending the GT).
