drm/i915: Simplify flush_cpu_write_domain

We can push down the decision whether to force flushing into the
implementation since in all places that matter obj->pin_display is
accurate already. The only place where the optimization really matters
is the sw_finish_ioctl, and that already checks for obj->pin_display
on its own.

I suspect that this was simply an artifact of how

    drm/i915: Update rules for writing through the LLC with the cpu

evolved - only v2 added the pin_display tracking.

Note that we still retain the gist of this logic from the above commit
with the explicit force argument for the low-level clflush function.

Ville noted in his review that there's a slight behavioural change in
the set_to_gtt_domain function, which now also will flush display
plane data. This opens-open the potential for userspace to start doing
buggy things by omitting the sw_finish_ioctl, which is why I've
rejected a functional equivalent patch from Ville a while ago:

But on second consideration it's not that evil, and in any case the
justification here is more clarity, not allowing crazy userspace.
