[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/2] tests/gem_exec_parse: fix batch_len setting for cmd-crossing-page

From: Brad Volkin <bradley.d.volkin at intel.com>

The size of the batch buffer passed to the kernel is significantly
larger than the size of the batch buffer passed to the function. A
proposed optimization as part of the batch copy kernel series is to
use batch_len for the copy and parse operations, which leads to a
false "batch without MI_BATCH_BUFFER_END" failure for this test.

To fix this, modify the test to set batch_start_offset and batch_len
such that they define the range of actual commands in the batch,
including a few of the surrounding nops for alignment purposes.

v2: update batch_start_offset as well
