[PATCH] drm/i915: Fix use-after-free due to intel_context_pin/unpin race
From: Sultan Alsawaf

From: Sultan Alsawaf <sultan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The retire and active callbacks can run simultaneously, allowing
intel_context_pin() and intel_context_unpin() to run at the same time,
trashing the ring and page tables. In 5.4, this was more noticeable
because intel_ring_unpin() would set ring->vaddr to NULL and cause a
clean NULL-pointer-dereference panic, but in newer kernels the
use-after-free goes unnoticed.
The NULL-pointer-dereference looks like this:

Protect the retire callback with ref->mutex to complement the active
callback and fix the corruption.
