[PATCH 2/2] Revert "drm/xe/lnl: Offload system clear page activity to GPU"

This optimization relied on having to clear CCS on allocations.
If there is no need to clear CCS on allocations then this would mostly
help in reducing CPU utilization.
Revert this patch because of:
1 Currently Xe can't do clear on free and using a invalid ttm flag,
TTM_TT_FLAG_CLEARED_ON_FREE which could poison global ttm pool on
multi-device setup.
2 BO with WB caching type can't have compression enabled so there
is no need to do clear CCS for such allocation. Reducing CPU
utilization is a plus but latency is more important.
Without this patch:
UsmMemoryAllocation(api=l0 type=Host size=4KB) 113.1 us
UsmMemoryAllocation(api=l0 type=Host size=1GB) 91452.6 us
13.93% api_overhead_be [kernel.kallsyms] [k] pages_are_mergeable
7.59% api_overhead_be [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __lock_acquire
3.86% api_overhead_be [kernel.kallsyms] [k] lock_is_held_type
3.39% api_overhead_be [kernel.kallsyms] [k] rcu_is_watching
3.37% api_overhead_be [xe] [k] emit_pte
With this patch:
UsmMemoryAllocation(api=l0 type=Host size=4KB) 91.7 us
UsmMemoryAllocation(api=l0 type=Host size=1GB) 89486.5 us
91.86% api_overhead_be [kernel.kallsyms [k] clear_page_erms
1.81% api_overhead_be [kernel.kallsyms [k] pages_are_mergeable
0.99% api_overhead_be [kernel.kallsyms [k] get_page_from_freelist
0.63% api_overhead_be [kernel.kallsyms [k] __free_pages_ok
0.50% api_overhead_be [kernel.kallsyms [k] __lock_acquire
For larger memory the delta is very low so it is likely worth
doing gpu based system page clear that can be reconsidered in the
future.
This reverts commit 23683061805be368c8d1c7e7ff52abc470cac275 with
minor conflict fixes.
