[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 3/4] drm/i915: Compute the ring->space slightly less pessimistically

[Chris Wilson]

We only have to prevent the RING_TAIL from catching the RING_HEAD
cacheline and do not need to enforce a whole cacheline separation, and in
the process we can remove one branch from the computation.
