The dumb_create API isn't intended for high performance rendering
and it's more useful for userspace (ie. IGT) to have them precleared.

The bonus here is that we also won't needlessly leak whatever was
previously in VRAM, but it also probably wasn't sensitive if it was
going through this API.

NAK, IIRC we used to have this bit here before.

In general I agree that this would be a good idea, but the problem is the that first dump buffer is sometimes created before the engine (usually SDMA) to clear VRAM is initialized.

So you can run into a nice crash on suspend/resume.
