[PATCH] drm/xe: Make WA BB part of LRC BO

No idea why, but without this GuC context switches randomly fail when
running IGTs in a loop. Need to follow up why this fixes the
aforementioned issue but can live with a stable driver for now.

Fixes: 617d824c5323 ("drm/xe: Add WA BB to capture active context utilization")
Cc: stable at vger.kernel.org
