On Braswell, under heavy stress, if we update the GGTT while
simultaneously accessing another region inside the GTT, we are returned
the wrong values. To prevent this we stop the machine to update the GGTT
entries so that no memory traffic can occur at the same time.
This was first spotted in
commit 5bab6f60cb4d1417ad7c599166bcfec87529c1a2

drm/i915: Serialise updates to GGTT with access through GGTT on Braswell
but removed again in forlorn hope with

drm/i915: Remove Braswell GGTT update w/a
However, gem_concurrent_blit is once again only stable with the patch
applied and CI is detecting the odd failure in forked gem_mmap_gtt tests
(which smell like the same issue).
Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105591
Testcase: igt/gem_concurrent_blit
Testcase: igt/gem_mmap_gtt/*forked*
