I mulled over the fact this no longer applies the put hysteresis, but 
then I saw GuC busyness is essentially the only current caller so 
thought it doesn't really warrant adding a super long named 
intel_uncore_forcewake_put_delayed__locked helper.

Perhaps it would make sense to move this out of static inline, in which 
case it would also be easier to have the hysteresis without needing to 
export any new helpers, but mostly because it does not feel the static 
inline is justified. Sounds an attractive option but it is passable as is.
