[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/2] drm/i915: Prefault all pages for pread and pwrite

When using a GTT mapping as a source or destination for the pwrite or
pread command respectively, unless the PTEs for the GTT vma had been
prepopulated then get_user_pages() would fail with EFAULT. Usually, we
only write small amounts of data with pwrite that happened to be
conveniently prefaulted by the 2-page fault_in_pages_readable. By
prefaulting all pages before we take the struct mutex, we avoid this
issue, can stay in the fast path longer and reduce the likelihood of a
recursive deadlock.

"Fixes" gem_mmap_gtt.
