drm/i915: Prevent mixing of snooped and tiling modes for old chipsets

Older chipsets do not support snooping (i.e. cache sharing between the
CPU and GPU) on tiled surfaces. So prevent userspace from being silly
should we one day expose the ability to change cache levels from
userspace.

It does enforce a strict ordering for mode changing though. So in order
to change a buffer to snooped, the driver has to clear any tiling first
and then change the cache level. This is consistent with how we flush
and update the PTEs and seems a reasonable imposition on the driver.
Deferring the check until use, whilst providing flexibilty here, implies
forcing extra unbinds and a more complicated error message from, for
example, execbuffer.
