[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/gtt: Setup guards in scratch page

There have been cases where GPU engine has managed to run past
execbuffer ending due to reasons unknown at that time:
coherency problems, page table setup errors, hw glitches.

Let's try to contain a wild engine head by putting batch
buffer end commands into start and end of scratch page.
Leave two nops at start of page so it would catch the
eye on error dumps.
