[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 6/9] drm/i915/shmem: ensure flush during swap-in on non-LLC

On non-LLC platforms, force the flush-on-acquire if this is ever
swapped-in. Our async flush path is not trust worthy enough yet(and
happens in the wrong order), and with some tricks it's conceivable for
userspace to change the cache-level to I915_CACHE_NONE after the pages
are swapped-in, and since execbuf binds the object before doing the
async flush, there is a potential race window.
