drm/xe: Capture devcoredump on TLB invalidation timeout

This commit adds xe_devcoredump_gt() to capture GuC log and CT state
for hangs that are not tied to an exec queue or job. It also hooks
this mechanism up to the TLB invalidation timeout path.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this deferred work item on the global
system_dfl_wq cause a use-after-free if the driver is unbound before it
executes?

During teardown, xe_driver_devcoredump_fini() calls dev_coredump_put(). If
the work hasn't run yet, the coredump device hasn't been registered by the
deferred worker.

Consequently, dev_coredump_put() finds no device, returns silently, and
never invokes xe_devcoredump_free(). The work remains uncanceled on
system_dfl_wq and will eventually execute using a freed xe_device.
