drm/xe: Split H2G and G2H into separate buffer objects

H2G and G2H buffers have different access patterns (H2G is CPU-write,
GuC-read, while G2H is GPU-write, CPU-read). On dGPU, these patterns
benefit from different memory placements: H2G in VRAM and G2H in system
memory. Split the CT buffer into two separate buffers—one for H2G and
one for G2H—and select the optimal placement for each.

This provides a significant performance improvement on the G2H read
path, reducing a single read from ~20 µs to under 1 µs on BMG.
