Subject: [PATCH 5.7 231/244] drm/i915/gt: Only swap to a random sibling once upon creation

From: Chris Wilson <chris@...is-wilson.co.uk>

commit 110f9efa858f584c6bed177cd48d0c0f526940e1 upstream.

The danger in switching at random upon intel_context_pin is that the
context may still actually be inflight, as it will not be scheduled out
until a context switch after it is complete -- that may be a long time
after we do a final intel_context_unpin.

Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/2118
Fixes: 6d06779e8672 ("drm/i915: Load balancing across a virtual engine")
