[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: don't limit gtt size on apus

Since commit 24562523688b ("Revert "drm/amd/amdgpu: set gtt size
according to system memory size only""), the GTT size was limited by
3GiB or VRAM size.

This is problematic on APUs, especially with a small carveout
which can be as low as a fixed 128MiB, as there would be very a limited
3GiB available for video memory.
This obviously does not meet the demands of modern applications.

This patch makes it so the GTT size heuristic always uses 3/4ths of
the system memory size on APUs (limiting the size by 3GiB/VRAM size
only on devices with dedicated video memory).

Fixes: 24562523688b ("Revert drm/amd/amdgpu: set gtt size according to
system memory size only")
