[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/2] drm/i915: Reorder hw init to avoid executing with invalid context/mm state

Currently we initialise the rings, add the first context switch to the
ring and execute our golden state then enable (aliasing or full) ppgtt.
However, as we enable ppgtt using direct MMIO but load the PD using
MI_LRI, we end up executing the context switch and golden render state
with an invalid PD generating page faults. To solve this issue, first do
the ppgtt PD setup, then set the default context and write the commands
to run the render state into the ring, before we activate the ring. This
allows us to be sure that the register state is valid before we begin
execution.

This was spotted when writing the seqno/request conversion, but only with
the ERROR capture did I realise that it was a necessity now.

RFC: cleanup the error handling in i915_gem_init_hw.
