[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 3/3] drm/i915: Force sync command ordering

This will strongly order synchronization commands with respect to 3d
state and 3d primitive commands. AFAIK, this shouldn't impact anything
as these sync commands are all for privileged (or ppgtt) batches only,
so user space should not be relying on this, and the kernel wouldn't be
relying on 3d state or primitive commands.

This will help when we enable PPGTT, and perhaps this synchronization is
currently useful and I just don't realize it.

This was found through doc inspection by Ken and applies to Gen6+;
