Oops, my mistake.

I think radv_CmdPipelineBarrier on the 17.0 branch still needs
RADV_CMD_FLAG_INV_GLOBAL_L2
added for TRANSFER_WRITE barriers at least. Bas, do you think that should
be added in a separate patch just for stable, or would you prefer to push
those later changes to stable as well? Looks like there's some fixes in
those as well.
