This means that after amdgpu_vm_validate_pt_bos, all vm_pts will have
needs_update set, even if the last eviction didn't evict any page
tables. That will create unnecessary overhead in amdgpu_vm_update_level.
You could probably add another check in the loop below for whether
validate actually moved any child page tables.
