Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Disable -Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare

A recent commit in clang added -Wtautological-compare to -Wall, which is
enabled for i915 so we see the following warning:

../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)))
            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This warning only happens on x86_64 but that check is relevant for
32-bit x86 so we cannot remove it. -Wtautological-compare on a whole has
good warnings but this one is not really relevant for the kernel because
of all of the different configurations that are used to build the
kernel. When -Wtautological-compare is enabled for the kernel, this
option will remain disabled so do that for i915 now.
