[PATCH 26/33] drm/i915: Treat kernel context as initialised

[Chris Wilson]

The kernel context exists simply as a placeholder and should never be
executed with a render context. It does not need the golden render
state, as that will always be applied to a user context. By skipping the
initialisation we can avoid issues in attempting to program the golden
render context when trying to make the hardware idle.

v2: Rebase

Testcase: igt/drm_module_reload_basic #byt
Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95634
