This WA doesn't have a name. According to the spec, driver need to reset
disable gather at set shader bit in per ctx WA batch. It is to be noted
that the default value is already '0' for this bit but we still need to
apply this WA because userspace may set it. If userspace really need it
to be set then they need to do in every batch.

Hmm. I thought we needed this, but looking at the "User Mode Privileged
Commands" of the spec, it seems like this register is not allowed to be written.
So unless this register is put in a whitelist somewhere in the future, I think
it's safe to drop this patch.

As a preventative measure, I don't see this as harmful - but I don't feel I have
any authority to suggest whether we keep this in or not.

We need to whitelist few registers for preemption related WA, this can 
be added to whitelist if userspace really needs to write to it.
