drm/i915: Do not drop pagetables when empty

This is the minimal backport for stable of the upstream commit:

commit dd19674bacba227ae5d3ce680cbc5668198894dc

    drm/i915: Remove bitmap tracking for used-ptes

Due to a race with the shrinker, when we try to allocate a pagetable, we
may end up shrinking it instead. This comes as a nasty surprise as we
try to dereference it to fill in the pagetable entries for the object.

In linus/master this is fixed by pinning the pagetables prior to
allocation, but that backport is roughly
 drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_gtt.c |   10 ----------
 1 file changed, 10 deletions(-)
i.e. unsuitable for stable. Instead we neuter the code that tried to
free the pagetables.
