    i965: Emit CS stall before MEDIA_VFE_STATE.

    This fixes hangs on GFXBench 5's Aztec Ruins benchmark.

    Unfortunately, it regresses OglCSCloth performance by about 10%. There
    are some ideas for fixing that.

    The Vulkan driver already emits this stall.

-----------------------------------------------------

The drop is:
* 8-9% on SKL GT4e
* 5-6% on KBL GT3e
* 3-4% on SKL & KBL GT2
* within (largish) variance on BDW GT2 & GT3

On HSW GT it would seem to actually improve perf marginally.

Latter is interesting because Kenneth's trial fix for the performance
regression (verified to fix it):

Is according to Kenneth causing problems on HSW.  Maybe it could be applied
only on newer GENs?</pre>
