We rely on page_sizes.sg in setup_scratch_page() reporting the correct
value if the underlying sgl is not contiguous, however in
get_pages_internal() we are only looking at the layout of the created
pages when calculating the sg_page_sizes, and not the final sgl, which
could in theory be completely different. In such a situation we might
incorrectly think we have a 64K scratch page, when it is actually only
4K or similar split over multiple non-contiguous entries, which could
lead to broken behaviour when touching the scratch space within the
padding of a 64K GTT page-table. For most of the other backends we
already just call i915_sg_dma_sizes() on the final mapping, so rather
just move that into __i915_gem_object_set_pages() to avoid such issues
coming back to bite us later.

It looks like some callers expect a non-volatile object, that they do not
want the contents of the pages lost if they happen to not be looking at it.
The shrinker however sees that we mark the pages as DONTNEED and
believes that it can freely reap them. However, since the huge object
use plain pages, they cannot be swapped out as they have no backing
storge, and the only way we can shrink them is by discarding the
contents. In light of the callers wanting to keep the contents around,
both IS_SHRINKABLE and marking the pages as volatile are incorrect.
If we drop the IS_SHRINKABLE flag we avoid the immediate issue of the
shrinker accidentally removing valuable content. We will have to
remember that a huge object is not suitable for exercising the shrinker
interaction -- although we can introduce a shrinkable one if we require.
