drm/i915: Only initialize partially filled pagetables
If we know that we will completely fill a pagetable (i.e. we are inserting a complete set of 512 pages), we can skip prefilling that PT with scratch entries. If we have to abort the insertion prior to writing the real entries, we will teardown the pagetable and remove it from the page directory (so that we will restart the allocation next time). We could do similar tricks for the PD and PDP, but the likelihood of a single insertion covering the entire 512 entries diminishes, as do the cycle savings. The saving are even greater (relatively) when we are preallocating page tables for huge pages, as then we never need to fill the page table.
