drm/i915: Allow internal page allocations to fail

Browse source

Internal objects consistent of scratch pages not subject to the
persistence guarantees of user facing objects. They are used for
example, in ring buffers where they are only required for temporary
storage of commands that will be rewritten every time. As they are
temporary constructs, quietly report -ENOMEM back along the callchain
rather than subject the system to oomkiller if an allocation fails.
