drm/i915: mark up internal objects with start_cpu_write
While the pages can't be swapped out, they can be discarded by the shrinker. Normally such objects are marked with __I915_MADV_PURGED, which can't be unset, and therefore requires a new object. For kernel internal objects this is not true, since the madv hint is reset for our special volatile objects, such that we can re-acquire new pages, if so desired, without needing a new object. As a result we should probably be paranoid here and put the object back into the CPU domain when discarding the pages, and also correctly set cache_dirty, if required.
