Fix MarkBufferDirtyHint() to not call GetBufferDescriptor() for local buffers

GetBufferDescriptor() was called before checking if the buffer is local.
Such buffers have a negative ID, meaning that we could call
GetBufferDescriptor() with a wrapped-around uint32 value causing a
potential out-of-bound access to the BufferDescriptors array.

This is harmless in the existing code for the current uses of
MarkBufferDirtyHint(), but the author has found a way to make that
buggy while working on a different patch set, and the order of the
operations is wrong.

Oversight in 82467f627bd4.  No backpatch is required, as this is new to
v19.
