[PATCH v2 1/2] drm/i915: Don't use stolen memory for ring buffers with LLC

[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 on platforms with LLC. There are too many
caching pitfalls due to the way stolen memory accesses are routed. So
it is safest to just not use it.
