You pass the ring from amdgpu_vm_flush() to the *_update_spm_vmid() 
functions.

And then instead of using WREG32() you call amdgpu_ring_emit_wreg() to 
make the write asynchronously on the ring buffer using a CP command.

This way we avoid a bunch of trouble when one process drops the VMID 
reservation and another one grabs it.

Christian.
