Commit 04e0481526e3 ("nouveau/dmem: Fix privileged error in copy engine
channel") changed nouveau_accel_ce_init() to unconditionally request a
privileged channel (priv = true) when calling nouveau_channel_new().

However, privileged channels (func->ramfc->priv) are only supported on
Kepler (gk104_chan_ramfc) and newer FIFO implementations. On pre-Kepler
GPUs that expose a Copy Engine runlist, func->ramfc->priv is false,
which causes nvkm_chan_new_() to reject the channel creation with
-EINVAL:

  nouveau 0000:01:00.0: DRM: failed to create ce channel, -22

Specifically, this affects:
- Tesla GT215 (NVA3), GT216 (NVA5), GT218 (NVA8), and MCP89 (NVAF)
  using g84_chan_ramfc (GeForce GT 210/220/240, 310/320M/330M, etc.).
- Fermi GF100 (NVC0), GF108 (NVC1), GF106 (NVC3), GF104 (NVC4),
  GF110 (NVC8), GF114 (NVCE), GF116 (NVCF), GF117 (NVD7), and
  GF119 (NVD9) using gf100_chan_ramfc (GeForce GTX 400/500 series and
  Fermi-based GeForce GT 600/700 series such as the GT 730).

As a result, drm->cechan remains NULL on Fermi GPUs and TTM buffer moves
in nouveau_bo_move_init() cannot use the dedicated hardware Copy Engines
(COPY0/COPY1), falling back to M2MF on the main graphics channel.

Only request a privileged CE channel when device->info.family >=
NV_DEVICE_INFO_V0_KEPLER.
