[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/3] drm/i915: mark GEM objects as dirty when filled by the CPU

In various places, a GEM object is filled with data by means of CPU
writes. In such cases, the object should be marked dirty, to ensure that
the data is not discarded if the object is evicted under memory
pressure.

This incorporates and supercedes Alex Dai's earlier patch
[PATCH v1] drm/i915/guc: Fix a fw content lost issue after it is evicted
