drm/i915: Disable THP until we have a GPU read BW W/A

We seem to be missing some W/A for 2M pages and are getting
a hit on raw GPU read bandwidths (even 30%) even though the
GPU write bandwidths improve (even 10%).

For now, disable THP, which is our only practical source of
2M pages until we have a W/A for the issue.

v2:
- Be explicit that we talk about GPU bandwidths (Eero)
- s/deny/never/ because that's why (Chris)
