[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/3] drm/i915/gtt: Free unused lower-level page tables

Since "Dynamic page table allocations" were introduced, our page tables
can grow (being dynamically allocated) with address space range usage.
Unfortunately, their lifetime is bound to vm. This is not a huge problem
when we're not using softpin - drm_mm is creating an upper bound on used
range by causing addresses for our VMAs to eventually be reused.

With softpin, long lived contexts can drain the system out of memory
even with a single "small" object. For example:

bo = bo_alloc(size);
while(true)
    offset += size;
    exec(bo, offset);

Will cause us to create new allocations until all memory in the system
is used for tracking GPU pages (even though almost all PTEs in this vm
are pointing to scratch).

Let's free unused page tables in clear_range to prevent this - if no
entries are used, we can safely free it and return this information to
the caller (so that higher-level entry is pointing to scratch).
