[PATCH v5 4/4] drm/xe/lnl: Offload system clear page activity to GPU

On LNL because of flat CCS, driver creates a migrate job to clear
CCS meta data. Extend that to also clear system pages using GPU.
Inform TTM to allocate pages without __GFP_ZERO to avoid double page
clearing by clearing out TTM_TT_FLAG_ZERO_ALLOC flag and set
TTM_TT_FLAG_CLEARED_ON_FREE while freeing to skip ttm pool's
clearn-on-free as XE now takes care of clearing pages. If a bo
is in system placement and there is a cpu map then for such BO gpu
clear will be avoided as there is no dma mapping for such BO.

To test the patch, created a small test that tries to submit a job
after binding various sizes of buffer which shows good gains for larger
buffer. For lower buffer sizes, the result is not very reliable as the
results vary a lot.
