Sounds good, I'll respin w/ unconditional autosuspend

It does sort of remind me about something I was chatting with Jordan
the other day.. about how we could possibly skip the TLB inv for
unmaps from non-current pagetables once we have per-context
pagetables.

The challenge is, since the GPU's command parser is the one switching
pagetables, we don't have any race-free way to know which pagetables
are current.  But we do know which contexts have work queued up for
the GPU, so we can know either that a given context definitely isn't
current, or that it might be current.  And in the "definitely not
current" case we could skip TLB inv.
