In order to fully serialize access to the fenced region and the update to the fence register we need to take extreme measures on SNB+, and write the fence from each cpu taking care to serialise memory accesses on each. The usual mb(), or even a mb() on each CPU is not enough to ensure that access to the fenced region is coherent across the change in fence register - however a full blown write-back invalidate (wbinvd) per processor is sufficient. Fixes i-g-t/gem_fence_thrash v2: Bring a bigger gun v3: Switch the bigger gun for heavier bullets (Arjan van de Ven) v4: Remove changes for working generations. v5: Reduce to a per-cpu wbinvd() call prior to updating the fences.
