[Intel-gfx] [PATCH V2] drm/i915: Use I915_MAP_WC for execlists context buffer on the platforms without LLC

Under execlists mode the context buffer is allocated in global Gtt region.
The I915_MAP_WB type is used to map the buffer so that the driver can
initialize the context buffer.(Ring reg, Context Ctrl reg and so on).
And then __context_pin is called to flush back corresponding contents.
In fact as it also tries to update context buffer (Ring Tail offset)
before writing the ELSP port, it has no explicit cache flsuh.Maybe it is
handled by HW. But this is quite confusing as BXT has no LLC. So the WC
is used to map the context buffer on the platform without LLC and the
update of context buffer is writen into phys page directly. It will
be safer.

V1->V2: Remove the dirty flag of execlists state buffer and one minor
typo in commit log
