[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 3/7] drm/i915/guc: Increase size of CTB buffers

[Matthew Brost <matthew.brost@intel.com>]

With the introduction of non-blocking CTBs more than one CTB can be in
flight at a time. Increasing the size of the CTBs should reduce how
often software hits the case where no space is available in the CTB
buffer.
