__gem_get_tiling() returns 0 if tiling is supported, it returns -EOPNOTSUPP
if tiling is not supported and if it returns anything else we don't know if
tiling is supported or not supported (error in arguments etc.). So if
gem_has_legacy_hw_tiling() is to definitively indicate tiling is supported
it should just:

	return !__gem_get_tiling(fd, &arg);

For example, if __gem_get_tiling() returns -EINVAL I don't think we want to
return true from gem_has_legacy_hw_tiling().
