drm/i915: Treat WC a separate cache domain
When discussing a new WC mmap, we based the interface upon the assumption that GTT was fully coherent. How naive! Commits 3b5724d7 ("drm/i915: Wait for writes through the GTT to land before reading back") and ed4596ea ("drm/i915/guc: WA to address the Ringbuffer coherency issue") demonstrate that writes through the GTT are indeed delayed and may be overtaken by direct WC access. To be safe, if userspace is mixing WC mmaps with other potential GTT access (pwrite, GTT mmaps) it should use set_domain(WC).
