drm/i915: Don't allow binding objects into the last page of the aperture.
This should avoid a class of bugs where the hardware prefetches past the end of the object, and walks into unallocated memory when the object is bound to the last page of the aperture. fd.o bug #21488 Signed-off-by: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net>
