[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] dri: Do not tile stencil buffer

Until now, the stencil buffer was allocated as a Y tiled buffer, because
in several locations the PRM states that it is. However, it is actually
W tiled. From the PRM, 2011 Sandy Bridge, Volume 1, Part 2, Section
4.5.2.1 W-Major Format:
    W-Major Tile Format is used for separate stencil.

The GTT is incapable of W fencing, so we allocate the stencil buffer with
I915_TILING_NONE and decode the tile's layout in software.

This commit mutually depends on the mesa commit:
    intel: Fix stencil buffer to be W tiled
