drm/i915: Fix comments about CHV snoop behaviour

Replace the misinformed notes about CHV snoop behaviour with something
that's hopefully closer to reality.

* Only the snoop bit has meaning for CHV, the rest is
* ignored.
*
* Note that the harware enforces snooping for all page
* table accesses. The snoop bit is actually ignored for
* PDEs.
* The hardware will never snoop for certain types of accesses:
* - CPU GTT (GMADR->GGTT->no snoop->memory)
* - PPGTT page tables
* - some other special cycles
*
* As with BDW, we also need to consider the following for GT accesses:
* "For GGTT, there is NO pat_sel[2:0] from the entry,
* so RTL will always use the value corresponding to
* pat_sel = 000".
* Which means we must set the snoop bit in PAT entry 0
* in order to keep the global status page working.
