We expect NULL here.
The same one that was previously stored here ⌄⌄⌄
r = xa_alloc(&drm_minors_xa, &minor->index, NULL, DRM_EXTENDED_MINOR_LIMIT, GFP_KERNEL);
in drm_minor_alloc.

We're relying on the ordering for acquire/release (previously
guaranteed by the drm_minor_lock, now by internal XArray locking).
xa_load doesn't take xa_lock internally:

We could, if we expect the xarray to potentially not be empty.
