[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 4/4] drm/i915: Review the memory barriers around CPU access to buffers

We need to treat the GPU core as a distinct processor and so apply the
same SMP memory barriers. In this case, in addition to flushing the
chipset cache, which is a no-op on LLC platforms, apply a write barrier
beforehand. And then when we invalidate the CPU cache, make sure the
memory is coherent (again this was a no-op on LLC platforms).
