Ben Skeggs accf94969f drm/nouveau/ttm: always do buffer moves on kernel channel
There was once good reasons for wanting the drm to be able to use M2MF etc
on user channels, but they're not relevant anymore.  For the general
buffer move case, we've already lost by transferring between vram/sysmem
already so the context switching overhead is minimal in comparison.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
