[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Minimize uaccess exposure in i915_gem_execbuffer2_ioctl()

With CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE, objtool reports:

  drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_execbuffer.o: warning: objtool: i915_gem_execbuffer2_ioctl()+0x5b7: call to gen8_canonical_addr() with UACCESS enabled

This means i915_gem_execbuffer2_ioctl() is calling gen8_canonical_addr()
-- and indirectly, sign_extend64() -- from the user_access_begin/end
critical region (i.e, with SMAP disabled).

While it's probably harmless in this case, in general we like to avoid
extra function calls in SMAP-disabled regions because it can open up
inadvertent security holes.

Fix it by moving the gen8_canonical_addr() conversion to a separate loop
before user_access_begin() is called.

Note that gen8_canonical_addr() is now called *before* masking off the
PIN_OFFSET_MASK bits.  That should be ok because it just does a sign
extension and ignores the masked lower bits anyway.
