[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/4] drm/i915/contexts: Add forced switches

[Ben Widawsky]

A force parameter for switch currently only has one use, the first time
we load the default context.

Slightly hand-wavy explanation: We want to get the default context
actually loaded so that the GPU has some real state to load (instead of
garbage) after a reset or resume

Therefore, the benefit to adding a parameter instead of trying to
determine when to force is that we can strictly limit when such switches
occur.

As a +1 to me:
This existed in earlier versions of the patch series, but got removed as
part of the review process. The reason before was the same, and the same
person who convinced me to remove it before has convinced me to re-add
it. :-)
