drm/i915: Abort command parsing for chained batches

libva uses chained batch buffers in a way that the command parser
can't generally handle. Fortunately, libva doesn't need to write
registers from batch buffers in the way that mesa does, so this
patch causes the driver to fall back to non-secure dispatch if
the parser detects a chained batch buffer.

Note: The 2nd hunk to munge the error code of the parser looks a bit
superflous. At least until we have the batch copy code ready and can
run the cmd parser in granting mode. But it isn't since we still need
to let existing libva buffers pass (though not with elevated privs
ofc!).

things (after a few mails ...).]
