[PATCH v2] drm/i915: Avoid GGTT flushing on non-GGTT paths of i915_vma_pin_iomap

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin at intel.com>

Commit 4bc91dbde0da ("drm/i915/lmem: Bypass aperture when lmem is available")
added a code path which does not map via GGTT, but was still setting the
ggtt write bit, and so triggering the GGTT flushing.

Fix it by not setting that bit unless the GGTT mapping path was used, and
replace the flush with wmb() in i915_vma_flush_writes().

This also works for the i915_gem_object_pin_map path added in
d976521a995a ("drm/i915: extend i915_vma_pin_iomap()").

It is hard to say if the fix has any observable effect, given that the
write-combine buffer gets flushed from intel_gt_flush_ggtt_writes too, but
apart from code clarity, skipping the needless GGTT flushing could be
beneficial on platforms with non-coherent GGTT. (See the code flow in
intel_gt_flush_ggtt_writes().)

v2:
 * Improve comment in i915_vma_flush_writes(). (Andi)
