drm/i915: Inline sg_next() for the optimised SGL iterator

Avoiding the out-of-line call to sg_next() reduces the kernel execution
overhead by 10% in some workloads (for example the Unreal Engine 4 demo
Atlantis on 2GiB GTTs) which are dominated by the cost of inserting PTEs
due to texture thrashing. We can demonstrate this in a microbenchmark
that forces us to rebind the object on every execbuf, where we can
measure a 25% improvement, in the time required to execute an execbuf
requiring a texture to be rebound, for inlining the sg_next() for large
texture sizes.
