On MTL, objects allocated through i915_gem_object_create_internal() are
mapped as uncached in GPU by default because HAS_LLC is false. However
in the live_hwsp_read selftest these watcher objects are mapped as WB
on CPU side. The conseqence is that the updates done by the GPU are not
immediately visible to CPU, thus the selftest is randomly failing due to
the stale data in CPU cache. Solution can be either setting WC for CPU +
UC for GPU, or WB for CPU + 1-way coherent WB for GPU.
To keep the consistency, let's simply inherit the same cache settings
from the timeline, which is WB for CPU + 1-way coherent WB for GPU,
because this test is supposed to emulate the behavior of the timeline
anyway.
