drm/i915/gtt: Lazily allocate page directories for gen7

Browse source

As we were only supporting aliasing_ppgtt on gen7 for some time, we
saved a few checks by preallocating the page directories on creation.
However, since we need 2MiB of page directories for each ppgtt, to
support arbitrary numbers of user contexts, we need to be more prudent
in our allocations, and defer the page allocation until it is used. We
don't recover unused pages yet as we found that doing so on the fly
(i.e. altering TLB entries) would confuse the GPU.
