For a virtualised GPU, the host maintains the forcewake state on the
real device. As we don't control forcewake ourselves, we can simply
set force_wake_get() and force_wake_put() to be no-ops. By setting the
vfuncs, we adjust both the manual control of forcewake and around the
mmio accessors (making our vgpu specific mmio routines redundant and
to be removed in the next patch).
