[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/gen9: Add WaVFEStateAfterPipeControlwithMediaStateClear

s/Arun/Jeff + Jon/

This W/A would seem to be breaking context isolation as it is not context saved. Thus it is a candidate for being removed.

I have to say I did not get any wiser from reading the HSD, so can you guys bring some insight here?
