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

V4: add read-back for non-DPG case. This is for protection
    purpose as it is not used for producton.

On VCN v4.0.5 there is a race condition where the WPTR is not
updated after starting from idle when doorbell is used. Adding
register read-back after written at function end is to ensure
all register writes are done before they can be used.
