[Intel-gfx] [RFCv3 10/15] drm/i915: update PDPs by condition when submit the LRC context

Previously the PDPs inside the ring context will be updated

- When populating a LRC context
- Before submitting a LRC context (only for 32 bit PPGTT, as the amount
of used PDPs may be changed during PPGTT page table grow)

Under GVT-g, each VM owns a GVT context used as the shadow context. When
guest submits a context, GVT-g will load guest context into the GVT
context, and submit this context to i915 GEM submission system.

So this GVT context could be used by different guest context, and the
PPGTT root pointer in guest contexts might be different as well, if guest
is using full PPGTT mode.

In current i915, the root pointer in a LRC context will only be updated
during the LRC context creation.

This patch postpones the root pointer upgrade to the time of submission,
which will give GVT-g a chance to reload a new PPGTT page table root
pointer into an existing GVT context.
