    drm/i915: fix forcewake related hangs on snb

I guess the commit message should mention that. Also, please add a comment
it the _put functions that the check_fifodbg serves as a posting read (and
that we have experimental evidence suggesting that we should readback
something "nearby").

btw, can you please ask your nice designer whether he has any clue whether
that "nearby" posting_read has an effect?

Thanks, Daniel
