In commit a78a8da5 ("drm/ttm: replace busy placement with flags v6"), __i915_ttm_get_pages was updated to use flags instead of the separate 'busy' placement list. However, the behaviour was subtly changed. Originally, the function would attempt to use the preferred placement without eviction, and give an opportunity to restart the operation before falling back to allowing eviction. This was unintentionally changed, as the preferred placement was not given the TTM_PL_FLAG_DESIRED flag, and so eviction could be triggered in that first pass. This caused thrashing, and a significant performance regression on DG2 systems with small BAR. For example, Minecraft and Team Fortress 2 would drop to single-digit framerates. Restore the original behaviour by marking the initial placement as desired on that first attempt. Also, rework this to use a separate struct ttm_palcement, as the individual placements are marked 'const', so hot-patching the flags is even more dodgy than before. Thanks to Justin Brewer for bisecting this.
