i915/oa: Simplify updating contexts
We can remove the update-via-batch-buffer code path, which is basically an effective duplicate of update-via-context-image path, if we notice that after we have idled the GPU, we can update the context image even of the kernel context directly. (Update-via-batch-buffer path existed only to solve the problem of how to update the kernel context image.) Only additional thing needed is to activate the edited configuration by sending one empty request down the pipe. This accomplishes context restore of the updated kernel context and so the OA configuration gets written out to it's control registers.
