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

This patch covers a couple more places where a GEM object is (or may be)
modified by means of CPU writes, and should therefore be marked dirty to
ensure that the changes are not lost in the evenof of the object is
evicted under memory pressure.

It may be possible to optimise these paths later, by marking only
specific pages of the object as dirty (for objects backed by shmfs
pages); but for now let's ensure correctness by dirtying the whole
object.
