[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.

v2: add more signature
