[PATCH v2 1/3] drm/ttm: cleanup and add TTM_PL_FLAG_TEMPORARY flag

Cleanup and just make TTM_PL_FLAG_* start from zero.

Currently, we have a limitted GTT memory size and need a bounce buffer
when doing buffer migration between VRAM and SYSTEM domain.

The problem is under GTT memory pressure we can't do buffer migration
between VRAM and SYSTEM domain. But in some cases we really need that.
Eespecially when validating a VRAM backing store BO which resides in
SYSTEM domain.

Add TTM_PL_FLAG_TEMPORARY flag for temporary GTT memory allocation under
memory pressure. It may be useful for dirvers with a limited GTT memory
size.

v2: add detailed comments
