drm/i915: Flush the context object from the CPU caches upon switching
The issue is that we stale data in the CPU caches, when we come to swap-out the object, the CPU may short-circuit the reads from those cacheline and so corrupt the context object. Secondary, leaving the context object as being marked in the CPU write domain whilst on the GPU active list is a bad idea and will throw warnings later. Note: Thanks to calling set_to_gtt_domain with write = false and not setting any gpu write domain when putting a context object onto the active list (when we switch away from it) the set_to_gtt_domain call won't block.
