Same as patch #11, if atomic fault and DRM_XE_ATOMIC_CPU, we nack the fault.

So I think the helper should be defined to figure out what to nack too.

I think DRM_XE_ATOMIC_DEVICE works for userptr now if
xe->info.has_device_atomics_on_smem is true too.

I think for userptr VMAs we should reject any DRM_XE_ATOMIC_GLOBAL as
that won't work given we can't migrate userptrs. 

Likewise DRM_XE_ATOMIC_DEVICE should be rejected for userptr if
xe->info.has_device_atomics_on_smem is clear.
