commit 25ff1195f8a0b3724541ae7bbe331b4296de9c06 upstream.

In order to fully serialize access to the fenced region and the update
to the fence register we need to take extreme measures on SNB+, and
manually flush writes to memory prior to writing the fence register in
conjunction with the memory barriers placed around the register write.

Fixes i-g-t/gem_fence_thrash

v2: Bring a bigger gun
v3: Switch the bigger gun for heavier bullets (Arjan van de Ven)
v4: Remove changes for working generations.
v5: Reduce to a per-cpu wbinvd() call prior to updating the fences.
v6: Rewrite comments to ellide forgotten history.
