drm/i915: Only force GGTT coherency w/a on required chipsets
Not all chipsets have an internal buffer delaying the visibility of writes via the GGTT being visible by other physical paths, but we use a very heavy workaround for all. We only need to apply that workarounds to the chipsets we know suffer from the delay and the resulting coherency issue. Similarly, the same inconsistent coherency fouls up our ABI promise that a write into a mmap_gtt is immediately visible to others. Since the HW has made that a lie, let userspace know when that contract is broken. (Not that userspace would want to use mmap_gtt on those chipsets for other performance reasons...)
