drm/i915/gtt: Add read only pages to gen8_pte_encode
commit 25dda4dabeeb12af5209b0183c788ef2a88dabbe upstream.
We can set a bit inside the ppGTT PTE to indicate a page is read-only;
writes from the GPU will be discarded. We can use this to protect pages
and in particular support read-only userptr mappings (necessary for
importing PROT_READ vma).
