Previously, I was sending out the patch in a wrong format, hence sending
this patch again describing my changes.

Looking at the code and the call trace reported by Syzbot (issue link : https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=ef3256a360c02207a4cb), I understood
that the issue lies in the drm_gem.c file in
drm_gem_object_handle_put_unlocked(obj);. 

As per my understanding, I believe that a warning is given out when the DRM GEM object handle gets
destroyed along with the function getting returned immediately. 

To take care of the warning only, I think that the WARN_ON can be removed with
only the function getting returned when the object handle gets
destroyed, without a warning. 
Or else, we can even have a message logging in the place of a direct warning which will give out the
information that the object handle has been destroyed.

I also think that the WARN_ON is given for debugging purposes and hence proposing a
solution if the warning can be replaced with a simple message log.

I am looking forward to getting help in this regard from the respected maintainers.

Thank You
