drm/i915: Make ring freespace calculation more robust

The used space in a ring is given by the cyclic distance from the
consumer (HEAD) to the producer (TAIL), i.e. ((tail-head) MOD size);
conversely, the available space in a ring is the cyclic distance
from the producer to the consumer, MINUS the amount reserved for a
"gap" that is supposed to guarantee that the producer never catches
up with or overruns the consumer. Note that some GEN h/w requires
that TAIL never approach to within one cacheline of HEAD, so the gap
is usually set to twice the cacheline size to ensure this.

While the existing code gives the correct answer for correct inputs,
if the producer HAS overrun into the reserved space, the result can
be a value larger than the maximum valid value (size-reserved). We
can improve this by reorganising the calculation, so that in the
event of overrun the result will be negative rather than over-large.

This means that the commonly-used test (available >= required)
will then reject further writes into the ring after an overrun,
giving some chance that we can recover from or at least diagnose
the original problem; whereas allowing more writes would likely both
confuse the h/w and destroy the evidence of what went wrong.
