Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Remove tautological compare in eb_relocate_vma

-Wtautological-compare was recently added to -Wall in LLVM, which
exposed an if statement in i915 that is always false:

../drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_execbuffer.c:1485:22: warning:
result of comparison of constant 576460752303423487 with expression of
type 'unsigned int' is always false
[-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare]
        if (unlikely(remain > N_RELOC(ULONG_MAX)))
            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since remain is an unsigned int, it can never be larger than UINT_MAX,
which is less than ULONG_MAX / sizeof(struct drm_i915_gem_relocation_entry).
Remove this statement to fix the warning.

NOTE: Another possible fix for this is to change ULONG_MAX to UINT_MAX
      but I am not sure that is what was intended by this check. I'm
      happy to respin if that is the case.
