That's not exactly what this shmem_pin() is about, is it? I think it's
here to meet the drm_gem_shmem_get_pages_sgt() rule stating that pages
must be pinned while the sgt returned by drm_gem_shmem_get_pages_sgt()
is manipulated. You actually unpin the GEM just after the mmu_map_sg()
call, which means pages could very well be reclaimed while the MMU
still has a mapping referencing those physical pages. And that's fine,
because what's supposed to protect against that is the fence we
register to the GEM resv at job submission time.
