[PATCH] drm/amdkfd: Don't call mmput from MMU notifier callback

If the process is exiting, the mmput inside mmu notifier callback from
compactd or fork or numa balancing could release the last reference
of mm struct to call exit_mmap and free_pgtable, this triggers deadlock
with below backtrace.

The deadlock will leak kfd process as mmu notifier release is not called
and cause VRAM leaking.

The fix is to take mm reference mmget_non_zero when adding prange to the
deferred list to pair with mmput in deferred list work.

The backtrace of hung task:

 INFO: task python:348105 blocked for more than 64512 seconds.
