Since commit 24562523688b ("Revert "drm/amd/amdgpu: set gtt size

3GiB or VRAM size.

The commit in question was to fix a hang with certain tests on APUs.
That should be tested again before we re-enable this.  If it is fixed,
we should just revert the revert rather than special case dGPUs.

I think the commit before the revert (ba851eed895c) has some fundamental problems:

It was always specifying max(3GiB, 3/4ths RAM) of GTT, even if that wouldn't fit into say, 1GiB or 2GiB of available RAM.

Limiting GTT to min(max(3GiB, VRAM), 3/4ths RAM) size on dGPUs makes sense also and is a sensible limit to avoid silly situations with overallocation and potential OOM.

This patch solves both of those issues.

This is problematic on APUs, especially with a small carveout
which can be as low as a fixed 128MiB, as there would be very a limited
3GiB available for video memory.
This obviously does not meet the demands of modern applications.

This patch makes it so the GTT size heuristic always uses 3/4ths of
the system memory size on APUs (limiting the size by 3GiB/VRAM size
only on devices with dedicated video memory).

Fixes: 24562523688b ("Revert drm/amd/amdgpu: set gtt size according to
system memory size only")
