[PATCH 3/3] drm/i915: Avoid using MI_STORE_DWORD_IMM on vecs

It turns out that our MI_FLUSH_DW we perform after each batch is not
sufficient to flush MI_STORE_DWORD_IMM to memory. Of course, this raises
the concern that MI_FLUSH_DW may not be flushing anything on vecs, but
for the moment we have to neuter our own use of store-dw.

I have tried:

	8x MI_FLUSH_DW (with post-op sync)
	8x MI_STORE_DWORD_IMM
	8x MI_STORE_REG_MEM + MI_LOAD_REG_MEM

with no lasting effect; they only appear to add some extra delay on the
flush which partially masks the issue but not solve it.
