drm/i915/ringbuffer: Pull the render flush into breadcrumb emission

In preparation for removing the manual EMIT_FLUSH prior to emitting the
breadcrumb implement the flush inline with writing the breadcrumb for
ringbuffer emission.

With a combined flush+breadcrumb, we can use a single operation to both
flush and after the flush is complete (post-sync) write the breadcrumb.
This gives us a strongly ordered operation that should be sufficient to
serialise the write before we emit the interrupt; and therefore we may
take the opportunity to remove the irq_seqno_barrier w/a for gen6+.
Although using the PIPECONTROL to write the breadcrumb is slower than
MI_STORE_DWORD_IMM, by combining the operations into one and removing the
extra flush (next patch) it is faster

For gen2-5, we simply combine the MI_FLUSH into the breadcrumb emission,
though maybe we could find a solution here to the seqno-vs-interrupt
issue on Ironlake by mixing up the flush? The answer is no, adding an
MI_FLUSH before the interrupt is insufficient.
