[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v3] drm/i915: Fix not finding the VBT when it overlaps with OPREGION_ASLE_EXT

From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede at redhat.com>

If there is no OPREGION_ASLE_EXT then a VBT stored in mailbox #4 may
use the ASLE_EXT parts of the opregion. Adjust the vbt_size calculation
for a vbt in mailbox #4 for this.

This fixes the driver not finding the VBT on a jumper ezpad mini3
cherrytrail tablet and on a ACER SW5_017 machine.

Hans, I'm resending because for some reason our CI didn't pick this
up. Fixed a s/one/on/ typo in the comment while at it.
