[Intel-xe] [PATCH 1/3] drm/xe: Include hardware prefetch buffer in batchbuffer allocations

The hardware prefetches several cachelines of data from batchbuffers
before they are parsed. This prefetching only stops when the parser
encounters an MI_BATCH_BUFFER_END instruction (or a nested
MI_BATCH_BUFFER_START), so we must ensure that there is enough padding
at the end of the batchbuffer to prevent the prefetcher from running
past the end of the allocation and potentially faulting.
Bspec: 45717
