[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/2] drm/i915: Serialise updates to GGTT with access through GGTT on Braswell

When accessing through the GTT from one CPU whilst concurrently updating
the GGTT PTEs in another thread, the hardware likes to return random
data. As we have strong serialisation prevent us from modifying the PTE
of an active GTT mmapping, we have to conclude that it whilst modifying
other PTE's that error occurs. (I have not looked for any pattern such
as modifying PTE within the same page or cacheline as active PTE -
though checking whether revoking neighbouring objects should be enough
to test that theory.) The corruption also seems restricted to Braswell
and disappears with maxcpus=0. This patch stops all access through the
GTT by other CPUs when we update any PTE by stopping the machine around
the GGTT update.

Testcase: igt/gem_concurrent_blit
