[PATCH v2] drm/i915: Fix use-after-free due to intel_context_pin/unpin race

From: Sultan Alsawaf

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 __intel_context_retire() with active->mutex (i.e., ref->mutex)
to complement the active callback and fix the corruption.

v2: Reduce the scope of the mutex lock to only __intel_context_retire()
and mark it as a function that may sleep so it doesn't run in
atomic context
