drm/amdgpu: remove unsafe optimization to drop preamble ib
[ Upstream commit 7d9c70d23550eb86a1bec1954ccaa8d6ec3a3328 ]
Take the situation with gfxoff, the optimization may cause
corrupt CE ram contents. In addition emit_cntxcntl callback
has similar optimization which firmware can handle properly
even for power feature.
