drm/i915: Clear any existing dither mode prior to enabling spatial dithering

We cannot the initial configuration set by the BIOS not to have a dither
mode enabled which conflicts with our enabling the Spatial Temporal 1
dither mode for PCH. In particular, the BIOS may either enable temporal
dithering or the Spatial Temporal 2 with the result that we enable pure
temporal dithering. Temporal dithering looks bad and is perceived as a
flicker.

Fixes:
