Subject: drm/prime: Fix use after free in mmap with drm_gem_ttm_mmap

From: Anand K Mistry <amistry at google.com>

commit 8244a3bc27b3efd057da154b8d7e414670d5044f upstream.

drm_gem_ttm_mmap() drops a reference to the gem object on success. If
the gem object's refcount == 1 on entry to drm_gem_prime_mmap(), that
drop will free the gem object, and the subsequent drm_gem_object_get()
will be a UAF. Fix by grabbing a reference before calling the mmap
helper.

This issue was forseen when the reference dropping was adding in
commit 9786b65bc61ac ("drm/ttm: fix mmap refcounting"):
  "For that to work properly the drm_gem_object_get() call in
  drm_gem_ttm_mmap() must be moved so it happens before calling
  obj->funcs->mmap(), otherwise the gem refcount would go down
  to zero."
