drm/xe/lnl: Offload system clear page activity to GPU
On LNL because of flat CCS, driver creates migrates job to clear CCS meta data. Extend that to also clear system pages using GPU. Inform TTM to allocate pages without __GFP_ZERO to avoid double page clearing by clearing out TTM_TT_FLAG_ZERO_ALLOC flag and set TTM_TT_FLAG_CLEARED_ON_FREE while freeing to skip ttm pool's clear on free as XE now takes care of clearing pages. If a bo is in system placement such as BO created with DRM_XE_GEM_CREATE_FLAG_DEFER_BACKING and there is a cpu map then for such BO gpu clear will be avoided as there is no dma mapping for such BO at that moment to create migration jobs.

With this patch page clearing will get pipelined with migration job and will free CPU for more work. v2: Handle regression on dgfx(Himal) Update commit message as no ttm API changes needed. v3: Fix Kunit test. v4: handle data leak on cpu mmap(Thomas) v5: s/gpu_page_clear/gpu_page_clear_sys and move setting it to xe_ttm_sys_mgr_init() and other nits (Matt Auld) v6: Disable it when init_on_alloc and/or init_on_free is active(Matt) Use compute-benchmarks as reporter used it to report this allocation latency issue also a proper test application than mime. In v5, the test showed significant reduction in alloc latency but that is not the case any more, I think this was mostly because previous test was done on IFWI which had low mem BW from CPU.
