[Intel-gfx] [PATCH i-g-t] tests/i915/gem_exec_params: check available memory earlier

[Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com>]

The shmem mmap and pwrite interfaces conveniently let us probe just a
few pages, without needing to populate the entire object. On discrete
and newer platforms the kernel has dropped support for both, leaving us
with MMAP_OFFSET, which will always populate the entire object, for now
at least. Luckily we can just move the batch creation to after checking
the available memory to ensure we don't hit -ENOMEM on such platforms.

Also it seems that doing a massive allocation(filling much of system
memory) and then calling intel_purge_vm_caches() seems to take 40+
seconds, like when calling intel_require_memory(). Hence switching the
ordering here should also help with that.

For reference the larger-than-life test is just a simple regression test
to ensure that some very large batch buffer(greater than ~4G) can't
overflow the batch_len, causing all kinds of issues. See 57b2d834bf23
("drm/i915/gem: Support parsing of oversize batches").
