Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Flush everything on switching to the kernel_context
Git-commit: c82297fcfaff2862686094061772070e6763e00c
Patch-mainline: v4.16-rc1
References: FATE#322643 bsc#1055900
Even though all rendering should have been flushed at the end of the
previous requests, add an extra flush after switching to the
kernel_context. As the switch to the kernel_context is used when idling
the gpu (e.g. suspend), having an extra layer of paranoia to ensure
everything is flushed to memory seems sensible.
