This resolves some rendering issues in source games.

Doing a nouveau_bo_wait works as well, but I got a slightly higher framerate
from glretrace doing it this way. I tried to get an actual source game running,
but was unsuccessful... (something about a missing filesystem_steam.so which
indeed was absent)

This is clearly not optimal, but neither is having broken source games. The
other workaround simply went the other path which would have to do a wait and
a double-copy (vram -> pushbuf, pushbuf xfer from gart), which is worse than
just the wait.
