drm/i915: Prevent concurrent GGTT update and use on Braswell (again)

On Braswell, under heavy stress, if we update the GGTT while
simultaneously accessing another region inside the GTT, we are returned
the wrong values. To prevent this we stop the machine to update the GGTT
entries so that no memory traffic can occur at the same time.

This was first spotted in

    drm/i915: Remove Braswell GGTT update w/a

However, gem_concurrent_blit is once again only stable with the patch
applied and CI is detecting the odd failure in forked gem_mmap_gtt tests
(which smell like the same issue). Fwiw, a wide variety of CPU memory
barriers (around GGTT flushing, fence updates, PTE updates) and GPU
flushes/invalidates (between requests, after PTE updates) were tried as
part of the investigation to find an alternate cause, nothing comes
close to serialised GGTT updates.
