drm/i915: Workaround incoherence between fences and LLC across multiple CPUs
commit 2dc8aae06d53458dd3624dc0accd4f81100ee631

drm/i915: Workaround incoherence with fence updates on Valleyview
Jon Bloomfield came up with a plausible explanation and cheap fix
(drm/i915: Fix incoherence with fence updates on Sandybridge+) for the
race condition, so lets run with it.
This is a candidate for stable as the old workaround incurs a
significant cost (calling wbinvd on all CPUs before performing the
register write) for some workloads as noted by Carsten Emde.
