i915: Exercise I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_RINGSIZE

I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_RINGSIZE specifies how large to create the command
ringbuffer for logical ring contects. This directly affects the number
of batches userspace can submit before blocking waiting for space.

+ * I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_RINGSIZE:

+ * Sets the size of the CS ringbuffer to use for logical ring contexts. This
+ * applies a limit of how many batches can be queued to HW before the caller
+ * is blocked due to lack of space for more commands.
+ *
+ * Only reliably possible to be set prior to first use, i.e. during
+ * construction. At any later point, the current execution must be flushed as
+ * the ring can only be changed while the context is idle. Note, the ringsize
+ * can be specified as a constructor property, see
+ * I915_CONTEXT_CREATE_EXT_SETPARAM, but can also be set later if required.
+ *
+ * Only applies to the current set of engine and lost when those engines
+ * are replaced by a new mapping (see I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_ENGINES).
+ *
+ * Must be between 4 - 512 KiB, in intervals of page size [4 KiB].
+ * Default is 16 KiB.
