Subject: drm/i915: correct the calculation of first_pd_entry_in_global_pt

From: "Zhang, Xiong Y" <[email protected]>

commit 43b27290dd42b40f3f23f49677a7faa5a4eb1eff upstream.

When ppgtt is enabled, dev_priv->gtt.total has excluded the gtt space
occupied by ppgtt table in i915_gem_init_global_gtt() function. So the
calculation of first_pd_entry_in_global_pt doesn't need to subtract
I915_PPGTT_PD_ENTRIES again. Or else PPGTT directory table will be
destroyed by global gtt allocation.

This regression has been introduced in

commit a54c0c279f3864171fe53c66e769d5a137c5c651

    drm/i915: remove intel_gtt structure

The breakage is pretty subtile since the old gtt_total_entries
included the pde range, whereas the new on did not.

correcting my wrong guess about which commit broke things.]
