drm/amdgpu: change gfx8 ib test to use WB
This patch is extends the usage of WB in gfx8's ib test which was originally implemented in the below upstream patch "ed9324af drm/amdgpu: change gfx9 ib test to use WB" For reference below are the reasons for switching to WB: 1)Because when doing IB test we don't want to involve KIQ health status affect, and since SCRATCH register access is go through KIQ that way GFX IB test would failed due to KIQ fail. 2)acccessing SCRATCH register cost much more time than WB method because SCRATCH register access runs through KIQ which at least could begin after GPU world switch back to current Guest VF Signed-off-by: Shirish S <shirish.s@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Chunming Zhou <david1.zhou@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com>
