[PATCH 2/2] drm/i915/execlists: Use coherent writes into the context image

[Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>]

That we use a WB mapping for updating the RING_TAIL register inside the
context image even on !llc machines has been a source of consternation
for every reader. It appears to work on bsw+, but it may just have been
that we have been incredibly bad at detecting the errors.
