[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 5/5] drm/i915: Initialize all contexts

[Michel Thierry]

From: Ben Widawsky <benjamin.widawsky at intel.com>

The problem is we're going to switch to a new context, which could be
the default context. The plan was to use restore inhibit, which would be
fine, except if we are using dynamic page tables (which we will). If we
use dynamic page tables and we don't load new page tables, the previous
page tables might go away, and future operations will fault.

CTXA runs.
switch to default, restore inhibit
CTXA dies and has its address space taken away.
Run CTXB, tries to save using the context A's address space - this
fails.

The general solution is to make sure every context has it's own state,
and its own address space. For cases when we must restore inhibit, first
thing we do is load a valid address space. I thought this would be
enough, but apparently there are references within the context itself
which will refer to the old address space - therefore, we also must
reinitialize.

v2: to->ppgtt is only valid in full ppgtt.
v3: Rebased.
v4: Make post PDP update clearer.
