[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Trim partial view sg lists

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin at intel.com>

Partial views are small but there can be many of them, and since the sg
list space for them is allocated pessimistically, we can save some slab by
trimming the unused tail entries.

On the other hand with the diminishing importance of mmap ggtt do we
expect to see partial views in use these days?
