[PATCH] drm/amdkfd: rm BO resv on validation to avoid deadlock

[Alex Sierra]

This fix the deadlock with the BO reservations during SVM_BO evictions
while allocations in VRAM are concurrently performed. More specific,
while the ttm waits for the fence to be signaled (ttm_bo_wait), it
already has the BO reserved. In parallel, the restore worker might be
running, prefetching memory to VRAM. This also requires to reserve the
BO, but blocks the mmap semaphore first. The deadlock happens when the
SVM_BO eviction worker kicks in and waits for the mmap semaphore held
in restore worker. Preventing signal the fence back, causing the
deadlock until the ttm times out.

We don't need to hold the BO reservation anymore during validation
and mapping. Now the physical addresses are taken from hmm_range_fault.
