[RFC 5/8] drm/i915: Improve the vm_fault_gtt user PAT index restriction

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin at intel.com>

Now that i915 understands the caching modes behind PAT indices, we can
refine the check in vm_fault_gtt() to not reject the uncached PAT if it
was set by userspace on a snoopable platform.
