gpu: nvgpu: remove temporary gpfifo allocation in submit path

In GPU job submit path gk20a_ioctl_channel_submit_gpfifo(),
we currently allocate a temporary gpfifo, copy user space
gpfifo content into this temporary buffer, and then copy
temp buffer content into channel's gpfifo.

Allocation/copy/free of temporary buffer adds additional
overhead

Rewrite this sequence such that gk20a_submit_channel_gpfifo()
can receive either a pre-filled gpfifo or pointer to
user provided args.
And then we can direclty copy the user provided gpfifo
into the channel's gpfifo

Also, if command buffer tracing is enabled, we still need
to copy user provided gpfifo into temporaty buffer for reading
But that should not cause overhead in real world use case
