[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2 01/18] drm/i915/lrc: Update PDPx registers with lri commands

A safer way to update the PDPx registers is sending lri commands, added
in the ring before the batchbuffer start. Otherwise, the ctx must be idle
before trying to change anything (but the ring-tail) in the ctx image. An
example where the ctx won't be idle is lite-restore.

This patch depends on [1], and has the advantage that it doesn't require
to pre-allocate the top pdps like here [2].

v2: Combine lri writes (and save 8 commands). (Mika)
