[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: clflush on pin_to_display after pwrite to UC bo in LLC

From: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala at linux.intel.com>

Currently we don't clflush on pin_to_display if the bo is already
UC/WT and is not in the CPU write domain. This causes problems with
pwrite since pwrite doesn't change the write domain, and it avoids
clflushing on UC/WT buffers on LLC platforms unless the buffer is
currently being scanned out.

Fix the problem by marking the cache dirty and adjusting
i915_gem_object_set_cache_level() to clflush when the cache is dirty
even if the cache_level doesn't change.

My last attempt [1] at fixing this via write domain frobbing was shot
down, but now with the cache_dirty flag we can do things in a nicer way.
