drm/i915: Fix context size calculation on SNB/IVB/VLV

All the different context sizes reported in the CXT_SIZE register
aren't meant to be simply added together.

While BSpec is somewhat unclear on the topic of the actual context
size, empirical tests have now revealed the truth. So let's add a
big fat comment to remind people how it all works.

As a result of correctly interpreting CXT_SIZE, the IVB context
size is reduced from three pages to two, while SNB context size
remains at two pages.

+ * Notes on SNB/IVB/VLV context size:
+ * - Power context is saved elsewhere (LLC or stolen)
+ * - Ring/execlist context is saved on SNB, not on IVB
+ * - Extended context size already includes render context size
+ * - We always need to follow the extended context size.
+ *   SNB BSpec has comments indicating that we should use the
+ *   render context size instead if execlists are disabled, but
+ *   based on empirical testing that's just nonsense.
+ * - Pipelined/VF state is saved on SNB/IVB respectively
+ * - GT1 size just indicates how much of render context
+ *   doesn't need saving on GT1
