3.8.13.20 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: =?UTF-8?q?Ville=20Syrj=C3=A4l=C3=A4?= <ville.syrjala at linux.intel.com>

commit f66fab8e1cd6b3127ba4c5c0d11539fbe1de1e36 upstream.

According to BSpec the entire MI_DISPLAY_FLIP packet must be contained
in a single cacheline. Make sure that happens.

v2: Use intel_ring_begin_cacheline_safe()
v3: Use intel_ring_cacheline_align() (Chris)
