This function doesn't do an unconditional retire - the new name is much
worse since it is inconsistent with how requests retire. In my make GEM
umpteen times faster patches, I repurposed this function for reporting
the object's current activeness and called it bool i915_gem_oject_active()
 - though that is probably better as i915_gem_object_is_active().
