[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Actually invalidate the TLB for the SandyBridge HW contexts w/a

A side-effect of commit 7d54a904285b6e780291b91a518267bec5591913

    drm/i915: Apply post-sync write for pipe control invalidates

was that only a request to emit invalidate flush would result in the
TLB being invalidated (since it requires synchronisation and so incurs a
performance penalty). However, the stated w/a for hardware contexts is
that the TLBs must be invalidated prior to a MI_SET_CONTEXT, yet the w/a
itself did not request the TLBs to be invalidated...

Note this w/a does not prevent the hard system hang I experience when
using hw contexts (with rc6 enabled) on SNB GT1.
