[PATCH 1/2] drm/nouveau: Fix GM107 disp core chan init on ThinkPad P50

I've been experiencing a rather strange looking bug on the P50 I've got
for work. After a number of reboots, nouveau will fail to initialize the
dedicated GPU on the system at boot properly. Things start off with
this disp mthd failure:

...

After the error happens, parts of the card start timing out and
eventually the GR fails to hold it's golden context and starts timing
out:

You'll notice from those traces that the very first evo kick happens
/after/ the mthd failure on the display channel, not before.
Additionally, there is no point at this part of the initialization
process where we actually call mthd 0000 from nouveau.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that this mysterious phantom disp
failure seems to be the result of someone else (probably the VBIOS or
the BIOS of the P50) leaving the disp core channel enabled by the time
nouveau begins to start initializing it. This was confirmed by observing
that the 0x610490 register holds a value of 0x490a009b when the card is
in this broken state, as opposed to the usual 0x48070088 or 0x48000088
observed on most cards pre-init.

It appears we can fix this by checking for the unknown mask 0x000a0000,
and simply shutting down the channel like we normally would on suspend
or driver unload before we start trying to initialize it. This appears
to be close to what nouveau does for older cards, as a similar
workaround can be seen in nv50_disp_core_init().

Unfortunately, I'm still not entirely clear on what conditions actually
cause this problem to be reproduced. Everyone else I've talked to so far
with a P50 doesn't report ever having hit this issue. As well, I haven't
managed to find a clear reproducer for this besides rebooting the
machine until the bug happens, while alternating between booting while
docked and while on battery every so often.

This fixes most random initialization errors on my ThinkPad P50 with a
GM107 GPU.
