[PATCH] drm/i915: Disable caches for Global GTT.

[Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com>]

Global GTT doesn't have pat_sel[2:0] so it always point to pat_sel = 000;
So the only way to avoid screen corruptions is setting PAT 0 to Uncached.

MOCS can still be used though. But if userspace is trusting PTE for
cache selection the safest thing to do is to let caches disabled.

BSpec: "For GGTT, there is NO pat_sel[2:0] from the entry,
so RTL will always use the value corresponding to pat_sel = 000"

v2: Cleaner patch as suggested by Chris.
