    drm/xe: Drop xe_mmio_write64()
    
    The only possible 64-bit register writes in the driver come from the
    highly questionable MMIO ioctl.  That ioctl's register write support
    only operates for userspace running as root and cannot be used by any
    real userspace; it exists solely to support the "xe_reg" debug tool in
    IGT.  Since the spec indicates that hardware does not officially support
    64-bit register accesses, there's no reason to allow such 64-bit writes,
    even for debugging.
