Subject: drm/i915: Just clear the mmiodebug before a register access

From: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>

commit f856f847b22c52be82f712ea6ada946c6db884d7 upstream.

When we enable the per-register access mmiodebug, it is to detect which
access is illegal. Reporting on earlier untraced access outside of the
mmiodebug does not help debugging (as the suspicion is immediately put
upon the current register which is not at fault)!
