[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Don't reserve compatibility fence regs in KMS mode.

The fence start is for compatibility with UMS X Servers before fence
management.  KMS X Servers only started doing tiling after fence
management appeared.

I haven't tested this beyond compiling, but it sounds like Daniel Vetter had
a workload that was interested in this.
