[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/execlists: Always force a context reload when rewinding RING_TAIL

If we rewind the RING_TAIL on a context, due to a preemption event, we
must force the context restore for the RING_TAIL update to be properly
handled. Rather than note which preemption events may cause us to rewind
the tail, compare the new request's tail with the previously submitted
RING_TAIL, as it turns out that timeslicing was causing unexpected
rewinds.
