drm/mgag200: Add a workaround for low-latency

We found a regression in v5.10 on real-time server, using the
rt-kernel and the mgag200 driver. It's some really specialized
workload, with <10us latency expectation on isolated core.
After the v5.10, the real time tasks missed their <10us latency
when something prints on the screen (fbcon or printk)

The regression has been bisected to 2 commits:
commit 0b34d58b6c32 ("drm/mgag200: Enable caching for SHMEM pages")
commit 4862ffaec523 ("drm/mgag200: Move vmap out of commit tail")

The first one changed the system memory framebuffer from Write-Combine
to the default caching.
Before the second commit, the mgag200 driver used to unmap the
framebuffer after each frame, which implicitly does a cache flush.
Both regressions are fixed by this commit, which restore WC mapping
for the framebuffer in system memory, and add a cache flush.
This is only needed on x86_64, for low-latency workload,
so the new kconfig DRM_MGAG200_IOBURST_WORKAROUND depends on
PREEMPT_RT and X86.
