drm/xe: Use write-back caching mode for system memory on DGFX

The caching mode for buffer objects with VRAM as a possible
placement was forced to write-combined, regardless of placement.

However, write-combined system memory is expensive to allocate and
even though it is pooled, the pool is expensive to shrink, since
it involves global CPU TLB flushes.

Moreover write-combined system memory from TTM is only reliably
available on x86 and DGFX doesn't have an x86 restriction.

So regardless of the cpu caching mode selected for a bo,
internally use write-back caching mode for system memory on DGFX.

Coherency is maintained, but user-space clients may perceive a
difference in cpu access speeds.

v2:
- Update RB- and Ack tags.
- Rephrase wording in xe_drm.h (Matt Roper)
v3:
- Really rephrase wording.
