drm/i915: Fixup the free space logic in ring_prepare

Currently for the case where there is enough space at the end of Ring
buffer for accommodating only the base request, the wrapround is done
immediately and as a result the base request gets added at the start
of Ring buffer. But there may not be enough free space at the beginning
to accommodate the base request, as before the wraparound, the wait was
effectively done for the reserved_size free space from the start of
Ring buffer. In such a case there is a potential of Ring buffer overflow,
the instructions at the head of Ring (ACTHD) can get overwritten.

Since the base request can fit in the remaining space, there is no need
to wraparound immediately. The wraparound will anyway happen later when
the reserved part starts getting used.
