How do you know from this the device is suspending? I can't tell that is
happening. I do think this raises a good point that suspend / resume
should be added to ftrace as that is useful information.

While I agree the device shouldn't enter suspend while TLB invalidations
are inflight I don't think this patch will help with this.

This code path is called in various places in where we should have PM
ref (VM bind IOCTL, exec IOCTL for rebind, or preempt rebind worker). If
we don't have PM ref when this function is called, that is a bug that
needs to be fixed at the outer most layers. Beyond that, GT TLB
invalidations are async and pipelined (e.g. they can be sent after this
function returns and completion can returns sometime later).

With this, I believe correct place to fix this is either in the CT layer
or perhaps hook into GT TLB invalidation fence (Arming of fence
takes a ref, signaling of fence drops a ref). If we choose the latter
option I think following series will help as we will use GT TLB
invalidation fences everywhere for waits [1]/

Rodrigo - I know we had talked about something like above but it doesn't
appear this has gotten implemented. WIP or did this get lost in the PM
work?
