[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: shut up #warning for compile testing

My randconfig tests on linux-next showed a newly introduced warning:

drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_object.c: In function 'amdgpu_bo_create_restricted':
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_object.c:377:2: error: #warning Please enable CONFIG_MTRR and CONFIG_X86_PAT for better performance thanks to write-combining [-Werror=cpp]

Generally speaking, warnings about bad kernel configuration are not particularly
helpful. We could enforce the selection of X86_PAT through Kconfig, so the driver
cannot even be used unless it is enabled, or we could just rely on the runtime
warning that is also there.

In this version, I'm making the warning conditional on CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST, which
shuts it up for me, but not people that may actually want to run the kernel
as a compromize.
