Subject: drm/i915/ppgtt: Break loop in gen8_ppgtt_clear_range failure path

From: Michel Thierry <michel.thierry@intel.com>

commit 00245266b4be4fbe989ee073663f56716da6c1f3 upstream.

If for some reason [1], the page directory/table does not exist, clear_range
would end up in an infinite while loop.

Introduced by commit 06fda602dbca ("drm/i915: Create page table allocators").

[1] This is already being addressed in one of Mika's patches:
