[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Skip object locking around a no-op set-domain ioctl

If we are already in the desired write domain of a set-domain ioctl,
then there is nothing for us to do and we can quickly return back to
userspace, avoiding any lock contention.

Secondary aspect of this is that we undo the arbitrary fetching and
potential flushing of all pages for a set-domain(.write=CPU) call on a
fresh object -- which was introduced simply because we do the get-pages
before taking the struct_mutex.
