drm/i915: mark GEM object pages dirty when mapped & written by the CPU

In various places, a single page of a (regular) GEM object is mapped into
CPU address space and updated. In each such case, either the page or the
the object should be marked dirty, to ensure that the modifications are
not discarded if the object is evicted under memory pressure.

The typical sequence is:
	va = kmap_atomic(i915_gem_object_get_page(obj, pageno));
	*(va+offset) = ...
	kunmap_atomic(va);

Here we introduce i915_gem_object_get_dirty_page(), which performs the
same operation as i915_gem_object_get_page() but with the side-effect
of marking the returned page dirty in the pagecache.  This will ensure
that if the object is subsequently evicted (due to memory pressure),
the changes are written to backing store rather than discarded.

Note that it works only for regular (shmfs-backed) GEM objects, but (at
least for now) those are the only ones that are updated in this way --
the objects in question are contexts and batchbuffers, which are always
shmfs-backed.

Separate patches deal with the cases where whole objects are (or may
be) dirtied.
