drm/i915: Unconditionally flush any chipset buffers before execbuf
If userspace is asynchronously streaming into the batch or other
execobjects, we may not flush those writes along with a change in cache
domain (as there is no change). Therefore those writes may end up in
internal chipset buffers and not visible to the GPU upon execution. We
must issue a flush command or otherwise we encounter incoherency in the
batchbuffers and the GPU executing invalid commands (i.e. hanging) quite
regularly.
v2: Throw a paranoid wmb() into the general flush so that we remain
consistent with before.
