[PATCH V2 1/2] drm/amdgpu: read back register after written for VCN v4.0.5

V2: not to add extra read-back in vcn_v4_0_5_start as there is a
    read-back already. New comment for better understanding.

On VCN v4.0.5 there is a race condition where the WPTR is not
updated after starting from idle when doorbell is used. The read-back
of regVCN_RB1_DB_CTRL register after written is to ensure the
doorbell_index is updated before it can work properly.
