[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 5/6] drm/i915: Don't use scratch in WA batch.

We're currently doing one workaround where we're using scratch as a
temporary storage place, while we're overwriting the value of one
register with some known constant value in order to perform a
workaround.
While we could just do similar thing with CS_GPR register
and MI_LOAD_REGISTER_REG instead of scratch, since we would use CS_GPR
anyways, let's just drop the constant values and do the bitops using
MI_MATH.
