[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: Let userptr BO ttm have TTM_PAGE_FLAG_SG set

I think this works for KFD userptr BOs. But this problem is probably not
specific to KFD. It's only most obvious with KFD because we rely so
heavily for userptrs.

I don't really understand why we're messing with TTM_PAGE_FLAG_SG in
amdgpu_ttm_tt_populate and amdgpu_ttm_tt_unpopulate. And why are userptr
BOs created as ttm_bo_type_device, not ttm_bo_type_sg? Christian, do you
know about the history of this code?

Either way, the patch is

Thanks for looking into this!
