drm/i915: Stop marking the unaccessible scratch page as UC
Since by design, if not entirely by practice, nothing is allowed to access the scratch page we use to background fill the VM, then we do not need to ensure that it is coherent between the CPU and GPU. set_pages_uc() does a stop_machine() after changing the PAT, and that significantly impacts upon context creation throughput.
