drm/i915: Restrict pagefault disabling to just around copy_from_user()

When handling execbuf relocations, we play a delicate dance with
pagefault. We first try to access the user pages underneath our
struct_mutex. However, if those pages were inside a GEM object, we may
trigger a pagefault and deadlock as i915_gem_fault() tries to
recursively acquire struct_mutex. Instead, we choose to disable
pagefaulting around the copy_from_user whilst inside the struct_mutex
and handle the EFAULT by falling back to a copy outside the
struct_mutex.

We however presumed that disabling pagefaults would be expensive. It is
just an operation on the local current task. Cheap enough that we can
restrict the disable/enable to the critical section around the copy, and
so avoid having to handle the atomic sections within the relocation
handling itself.

v2: Just illustrate the broken error handling rather than argue why it
is safer to ignore it, for now.
