drm/i915: Fixup the free space logic in ring_prepare
Currently for the case where there is enough space at the end of Ring buffer for accommodating only the base request, the wrapround is done immediately and as a result the base request gets added at the start of Ring buffer. But there may not be enough free space at the beginning to accommodate the base request, as before the wraparound, the wait was effectively done for the reserved_size free space from the start of Ring buffer. In such a case there is a potential of Ring buffer overflow, the instructions at the head of Ring (ACTHD) can get overwritten. Since the base request can fit in the remaining space, there is no need to wraparound immediately. The wraparound will anyway happen later when the reserved part starts getting used.
