Konsta Holtta 8728da1c6e gpu: nvgpu: compact pte buffers ...

The lowest page table level may hold very few entries for mappings of
large pages, but a new page is allocated for each list of entries at the
lowest level, wasting memory and performance. Compact these so that the
new "allocation" of ptes is appended at the end of the previous
allocation, if there is space.

4 KB page is still the smallest size requested from the allocator; any
possible overhead in the allocator (e.g., internally allocating big
pages only) is not taken into account.
