From: Krishna Prabhakaran <krishna.prabhakaran@intel.com>

When i915 needs to make an imported dma-buf coherent for GPU access on
non-LLC platforms, or for objects that bypass LLC, it currently calls
wbinvd_on_all_cpus(). get_pages() runs whenever an imported buffer is
pinned, so this triggers a whole-cache write-back and invalidate,
broadcast by IPI to every CPU, on every execbuf submission involving an
imported dma-buf. That stalls the entire machine for milliseconds and
starves latency-sensitive work on unrelated cores (e.g. USB isochronous
audio serviced on the VMM's main thread).

Flush only the pages that actually need it instead:

 - If we imported one of our own dma-bufs, the backing object is
   struct-page backed once migrated to SMEM, so flush it directly with
   drm_clflush_sg(), exactly as we flush our other objects. This also
   avoids re-entering the exporter through dma_buf_vmap(), which would
   recurse into i915_gem_object_pin_map() on the source object we
   already hold locked (and fails the igt_dmabuf_import_same_driver
   selftest with -EBUSY).

 - For a foreign dma-buf the sg_table is not guaranteed to be backed by
   struct pages, and the importer has no way to tell, so drm_clflush_sg()
   cannot be used. vmap the buffer and flush that virtual range with
   drm_clflush_virt_range() instead: x86 uses PIPT caches, so flushing
   one virtual alias evicts the cache lines for every alias of the same
   physical pages. The dma_resv lock required by dma_buf_vmap() is
   already held here via the imported object.

Fall back to wbinvd only when the buffer cannot be vmapped or is backed
by I/O memory, where there is no CPU-side range to clflush.

v2:
 - Flush our own imported dma-bufs directly with drm_clflush_sg() instead of
   dma_buf_vmap(), which re-entered i915_gem_object_pin_map() on the source
   object and failed igt_dmabuf_import_same_driver_smem with -EBUSY (reported
   by Intel CI on v1). Foreign dma-bufs still use dma_buf_vmap() +
   drm_clflush_virt_range(); wbinvd only as fallback.
