Another month, another story in the cache coherency saga. This time, we
come to the realisation that i915_gem_object_is_coherent() has been
reporting whether we can read from the target without requiring a cache
invalidate; but we were using it in places for testing whether we could
write into the object without requiring a cache flush. So split the
tracking into two, one to decide before reads, one after writes.
See commit e27ab73d17 ("drm/i915: Mark CPU cache as dirty on every
transition for CPU writes") for the previous entry in this saga.
v2: Be verbose
v3: Remove unused function (i915_gem_object_is_coherent)
v4: Fix inverted coherency check prior to execbuf (from v2)
v5: Add comment for nasty code where we are optimising on gcc's behalf.

The goal here was to minimise doing any thing or any check inside the
kernel that was not strictly required. For a userspace that assumes
complete control over the cache domains, the kernel is usually using
outdated information and may trigger clflushes where none were
required.
However, swapping is a situation where userspace has no knowledge of the
domain transfer, and will leave the object in the CPU cache. The kernel
must flush this out to the backing storage prior to use with the GPU. As
we use an asynchronous task tracked by an implicit fence for this, we
also need to cancel the ASYNC flag on the object so that the object will
wait for the clflush to complete before being executed. This also absolves
userspace of the responsibility imposed by commit 77ae995789 ("drm/i915:
Enable userspace to opt-out of implicit fencing") that its needed to ensure
that the object was out of the CPU cache prior to use on the GPU.

For ease of use (i.e. avoiding a few checks and function calls), store
the object's cache coherency next to the cache is dirty bit.
Specifically this patch aims to reduce the frequency of no-op calls to
i915_gem_object_clflush() to counter-act the increase of such calls for
GPU only objects in the previous patch.
v2: Replace cache_dirty & ~cache_coherent with cache_dirty &&
!cache_coherent as gcc generates much better code for the latter

Currently, we only mark the CPU cache as dirty if we skip a clflush.
This leads to some confusion where we have to ask if the object is in
the write domain or missed a clflush. If we always mark the cache as
dirty, this becomes a much simply question to answer.
The goal remains to do as few clflushes as required and to do them as
late as possible, in the hope of deferring the work to a kthread and not
block the caller (e.g. execbuf, flips).
v2: Always call clflush before GPU execution when the cache_dirty flag
is set. This may cause some extra work on llc systems that migrate dirty
buffers back and forth - but we do try to limit that by only setting
cache_dirty at the end of the gpu sequence.
v3: Always mark the cache as dirty upon a level change, as we need to
invalidate any stale cachelines due to external writes.

2 clflushes on two different objects are not ordered, and so do not
belong to the same timeline (context). Either we use a unique context
for each, or we reserve a special global context to mean unordered.
Ideally, we would reserve 0 to mean unordered (DMA_FENCE_NO_CONTEXT) to
have the same semantics everywhere.

Flushing the cachelines for an object is slow, can be as much as 100ms
for a large framebuffer. We currently do this under the struct_mutex BKL
on execution or on pageflip. But now with the ability to add fences to
obj->resv for both flips and execbuf (and we naturally wait on the fence
before CPU access), we can move the clflush operation to a workqueue and
signal a fence for completion, thereby doing the work asynchronously and
not blocking the driver or its clients.
v2: Introduce i915_gem_clflush.h and use a new name, split out some
extras into separate patches.
