[PATCH v2 03/34] drm/gpuvm: Allow VAs to hold soft reference to BOs

[Rob Clark]

From: Rob Clark <robdclark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Eases migration for drivers where VAs don't hold hard references to
their associated BO, avoiding reference loops.

In particular, msm uses soft references to optimistically keep around
mappings until the BO is distroyed.  Which obviously won't work if the
VA (the mapping) is holding a reference to the BO.

By making this a per-VM flag, we can use normal hard-references for
mappings in a "VM_BIND" managed VM, but soft references in other cases,
such as kernel-internal VMs (for display scanout, etc).
