[PATCH v6 2/5] drm/amdgpu: move GTT to shmem after eviction for hibernation

When hibernate with data center dGPUs, huge number of VRAM BOs evicted
to GTT and takes too much system memory. This will cause hibernation
fail due to insufficient memory for creating the hibernation image.

Move GTT BOs to shmem in KMD, then shmem to swap disk in kernel
hibernation code to make room for hibernation image.
