drm/xe/uapi: Reject coh_none PAT index for CPU cached memory in madvise

Add validation in xe_vm_madvise_ioctl() to reject PAT indices with
XE_COH_NONE coherency mode when applied to CPU cached memory.

Using coh_none with CPU cached buffers is a security issue. When the
kernel clears pages before reallocation, the clear operation stays in
CPU cache (dirty). GPU with coh_none can bypass CPU caches and read
stale sensitive data directly from DRAM, potentially leaking data from
previously freed pages of other processes.

This aligns with the existing validation in vm_bind path
(xe_vm_bind_ioctl_validate_bo).

v3(Matthew Auld)
- Should be drm/xe/uapi
- More Cc

v4(Shuicheng Lin)
- Fix kmem leak issues by the way
