drm/i915: dirty fb operation flushsing frontbuffer
Let's do a frontbuffer flush on dirty fb. To be used for DIRTYFB drm ioctl. This patch solves the biggest PSR known issue, that is missed screen updates during boot, mainly when there is a splash screen involved like Plymouth. Previously PSR was being invalidated by fbdev and Plymounth was taking control with PSR yet invalidated and could get screen updates normally. However with some atomic modeset changes Pymouth modeset over ioctl was now causing frontbuffer flushes making PSR gets back to work while it cannot track the screen updates and exit properly. By adding this flush on dirtyfb we properly track frontbuffer writes and properly exit PSR. Actually all mmap_wc users should call this dirty callback in order to have a proper frontbuffer tracking. In the future it can be extended to return 0 if the whole screen has being flushed or the number of rects flushed as Chris suggested. v2: Remove ORIGIN_FB_DIRTY and use ORIGIN_GTT instead since dirty callback is just called after few screen updates and not on everyone as pointed by Daniel. v3: Use flush instead of invalidate since flush means invalidate + flush and dirty means drawn had finished and it can be flushed. v4: Remove PSR from subject since it is purely frontbuffer tracking change and that can be useful for FBC as well.
