drm/i915: Reset the HEAD pointer for the ring after writing START

Ville found an old w/a documented for g4x that suggested that we need to
reset the HEAD after writing START. This is a useful fixup for some of
the g4x ring initialisation woes, but as usual, not all.

v2: Do the rewrite unconditionally anyway
