[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] [v2] drm/i915/hsw: Change default LLC age to 3

The default LLC age was changed:
commit 0d8ff15e9a15f2b393e53337a107b7a1e5919b6d

drm/i915/hsw: Set correct Haswell PTE encodings.

This caused a regression in performance on certain benchmarks. While I
think a discussion still needs to happen about how the kernel should
default for both eLLC, and LLC - just revert this behavior for now.

v2: Drop the extra #define (Chad)
