[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/gt: Poison residual state [HWSP] across resume.

[Chris Wilson]

Since we may lose the content of any buffer when we relinquish control
of the system (e.g. suspend/resume), we have to be careful not to rely
on regaining control. A good method to detect when we might be using
garbage is by always injecting that garbage prior to first use on
load/resume/etc.
