[PATCH 7.2 534/733] drm/xe: Flush LSC untyped L1 dataport cache after rcs/ccs batches

7.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Thomas Hellström <thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com>

commit f5fcf7e638b904397ec0f66d3ea6766ef0cfe25b upstream.

emit_render_cache_flush() sets PIPE_CONTROL0_HDC_PIPELINE_FLUSH to
flush the L2/HDC data cache before fence signalling, but it never
requests a flush of the LSC untyped L1 data cache via the 'Untyped
Data-Port Cache Flush Enable' bit in PIPE_CONTROL DWord0[11].

Per the Bspec, in 3D pipeline mode HDC Pipeline Flush is documented to
also flush/invalidate the untyped L1 cache, but only depending on how
HDC_CHICKEN0[13:11] is programmed. Starting with MTL, this coupling
between HDC Pipeline Flush and the untyped L1 cache flush no longer
holds in practice, regardless of how HDC_CHICKEN0 is programmed, so
relying on it is not safe on newer platforms such as BMG. Mesa's Vulkan
driver (anv) has been assuming the kernel flushes both caches between
submissions, and hit user-visible corruption in apps such as Llama.cpp
because of this gap; it now works around it by flushing both caches
again from userspace at the end of every command buffer.

Correctness between submissions on the same queue is userspace's
responsibility and belongs in Mesa, not the kernel. However, for
security we must ensure stale data can't leak through the untyped L1
dataport cache once memory is reclaimed or evicted, which requires the
KMD to flush it before releasing memory for reuse.

Prior to MTL, HDC_CHICKEN0 could be programmed (as already done for
DG2 via Wa_22010960976/Wa_14013347512) to reliably keep HDC Pipeline
Flush coupled to the untyped L1 cache flush, so those platforms are
unaffected. Mesa's own anv driver found that on MTL the HW
disconnected the two independently of how HDC_CHICKEN0 is programmed,
and could not bring the old behavior back even by writing the register
by hand; see Mesa commit 7c2ff46a4fc3 ("anv: don't prevent L1 untyped
cache flush in 3D mode"). The kernel can't reliably request the flush
from the CS on MTL either, so restrict the new PIPE_CONTROL bit to
GRAPHICS_VERx100 >= 2000 (Xe2 and later), where it can be relied on.

Explicitly set PIPE_CONTROL0_UNTYPED_DATAPORT_CACHE_FLUSH together
with PIPE_CONTROL0_HDC_PIPELINE_FLUSH in emit_render_cache_flush() on
Xe2 and later, so the L1 data cache is known clean before memory is
released for reuse, without depending on undocumented
platform-specific HDC_CHICKEN0 behavior.
