For legacy contexts we employ an optimisation to only flush the context when binding into the global GTT. This avoids stalling on the GPU when reloading an active context. Wrap this detail up into a helper and export it for a potential third user. (Longer term, context pinning needs to be reworked as the current handling of switch context pins too late and so risks eviction and corrupting the request. Plans, plans, plans.) v2: Expand the comment explaining the optimisation for avoiding the stall on active contexts.
