[PATCH] drm/i915: Don't use stolen memory for ring buffers

[John.C.Harrison at Intel.com]

From: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison at Intel.com>

Direction from hardware is that stolen memory should never be used for
ring buffer allocations. There are too many caching pitfalls due to the
way stolen memory accesses are routed. So it is safest to just not use
it.
