[Intel-gfx] [PATCH i-g-t] i915/gem_exec_big: 128MiB not enough slack? Let out the rope!

Even with 128MiB reserved for other use, a single pass of gem_exec_big
runs out of memory. Give in and halve our batch size, that has to be
enough slack! As to why it keeps on failing, is left as an exercise to
the reader -- we have to solve the mm/ mystery one day, as eventually it
will be our only remaining source of bugs!
