All it is does is add an interface to kick a work queue on unpark. i.e.
All the actually work is done async in the work queue so it shouldn't
add any latency.

No limits on pressure. See above, I don't think this is a concern.

Haven't found another user yet but this is generic mechanism so we can
add more in the future if other use cases arrise.

This function is allowed to be called twice, e.g. Two contexts can be
tried to be deregistered while the GT PM is ideal but only first context
results in the worker being added to the list of workers to be kicked on
unpark.

Yes.

Even in the worker we only deregister the context if the GT is awake.

Yes we have locking - pm_unpark_work_lock. It is basically all 2
threads to call intel_gt_pm_unpark_work_add while the GT is idle - in
that case only the first call adds the worker to the list of workers to
kick when unparked (same explaination as above).

No race, just allowed to be called twice.

I didn't really think about this but everything else in under the mutex
so I included this under the mutex too. In this case this post_get op
could likely be outside the mutex but I think it harmless to keep it
under the mutex. For future safety, I think it should stay under the
mutex.
