[Nouveau] [PATCH 12/19] nv50: allocate an extra code bo to avoid dmesg spam

Each code BO is a heap that allocates at the end first, and so GPs are
allocated at the very end of the allocated space. When executing, we see
PAGE_NOT_PRESENT errors for the next page. Just over-allocate to make
sure that there's something there.
