drm/i915: Avoid vmallocing a buffer for the relocations

... perform an access validation check up front instead and copy them in
on-demand, during i915_gem_object_pin_and_relocate(). As around 20% of
the CPU overhead may be spent inside vmalloc for the relocation entries
when submitting an execbuffer [for x11perf -aa10text], the savings are
considerable and result in around a 10% throughput increase [for glyphs].
