[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2 02/22] drm/i915: Micro-optimise gen6_ppgtt_insert_entries()

Inline the address computation to avoid the vfunc call for every page.
We still have to pay the high overhead of sg_page_iter_next(), but now
at least GCC can optimise the inner most loop, giving a significant
boost to some thrashing Unreal Engine workloads.
