[PATCH v2] drm/panthor: Avoid adding of kernel BOs to extobj list

[Akash Goel]

The kernel BOs unnecessarily got added to the external objects list
of drm_gpuvm, when mapping to GPU, which would have resulted in few
extra CPU cycles being spent at the time of job submission as
drm_exec_until_all_locked() loop iterates over all external objects.

Kernel BOs are private to a VM and so they share the dma_resv object of
the dummy GEM object created for a VM. Use of DRM_EXEC_IGNORE_DUPLICATES
flag ensured the recursive locking of the dummy GEM object was ignored.
Also no extra space got allocated to add fences to the dma_resv object
of dummy GEM object. So no other impact apart from few extra CPU cycles.

This commit sets the pointer to dma_resv object of GEM object of
kernel BOs before they are mapped to GPU, to prevent them from
being added to external objects list.

v2: Add R-bs and fixes tags
