Since commit c45e788d95b4 ("drm/i915/tgl: Suspend pre-parser across GTT
invalidations"), we now disable the advanced preparser on Tigerlake for the
invalidation phase at the start of the batch, we no longer need to emit
the GPU relocations from a second context as they are now flushed inlined.

Not a complete revert, taking care of preserving the valuable
comment about preparser before gen12_emit_preempt_busywait().

c45e788d95b4 only applies to the RCS though and IIRC I've seen issues 
with the relocations on other engines as well, although they were much 
rarer. Also, the comment left in intel_lrc.c still references reloc_gpu().

The tests we have don't discriminate between the engines, and the
so far we've only observed the issue on RCS. Look at igt_cs_tlb and see
what it might be missing wrt to triggering the issue on the other
engines.
