Did some research on that, another fix is:

                base = drm_hash_entry(hash, struct ttm_base_object, hash);

        if (unlikely(ret != 0))

Looks totally stupid but also silences the warning. In fact, the
warning is triggered by rcu_read_unlock(); and only if PROVE_LOCKING
and DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC are enabled. And it's related to the IP-size of
the rcu_read_unlock() path.

I'd actually prefer "buf = NULL;" and an extended bail-out condition:
  if (unlikely(ret != 0 || !buf))
but it's not my decision, so:
