When amdxdna_cmd_set_error() follows a command chain it takes a
reference on the BO named by the chain:

abo = amdxdna_gem_get_obj(client, cc->data[0], AMDXDNA_BO_SHARE);
if (!abo)
return -EINVAL;
cmd = amdxdna_gem_vmap(abo);
if (!cmd)
return -ENOMEM;

and drops it at the end of the function under "if (cc)". The -ENOMEM
path returns before reaching that, so the reference taken by
amdxdna_gem_get_obj() is leaked and the GEM object is never freed.

amdxdna_gem_vmap() fails only if drm_gem_vmap() fails, which needs
memory pressure or an exporter that refuses the mapping, so this is a
small leak on a rare path rather than something a caller can drive at
will. It is still a leak, and the chain BO handle comes from a command
buffer user space can write.

Drop the reference before returning.
