This reverts commit 02f6bcccf7c324115747aae2f0addd6af5d321cd. The OA buffer can contain global data (in particular, not linked to a context or a single batch execution) about GPU events (eg. hw context switches, rc6 transitions, frequency changes, ...) and needs to be mapped to GGTT. The pin ioctl provided a way to do that. Admittedly, this change broke what seems to be a valid use case of pinning a buffer in GGTT, even when PPGTT is used (which is the reason invoked in the commit message).
