[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Force wmb() on using GTT io_mapping_map_wc

Since the advent of mmap(wc), where we reused the same cache domain for
WC and GTT paths (oh, how I regret that double-edged advice), we need to
be extra cautious when using GTT iomap_wc internally. Since userspace maybe
modifying through the mmap(wc) and we then modify modifying through an
aliased WC path through the GTT, those writes may overlap and not be
visible to the other path. Easiest to trigger appears to be write the
batch through mmap(wc) and then attempt to perform reloc the GTT,
corruption quickly ensues.
