[PATCH] dma-buf/reservation: shouldn't kfree staged when slot available

under below scenario the obj->fence would refer to a wild pointer:

1,call reservation_object_reserved_shared
2,call reservation_object_add_shared_fence
3,call reservation_object_reserved_shared
4,call reservation_object_add_shared_fence

in step 1, staged is allocated,

in step 2, code path will go reservation_object_add_shared_replace()
and obj->fence would be assigned as staged (through RCU_INIT_POINTER)

in step 3, obj->staged will be freed(by simple kfree),
which make obj->fence point to a wild pointer...

in step 4, code path will go reservation_object_add_shared_inplace()
and inside it the @fobj (which equals to @obj->staged, set by above steps)
is already a wild pointer

should remov the kfree on staged in reservation_object_reserve_shared()
