I found the cause of this corruption.
The init value of vm->bulk_moveable is actually false.
Then after vm->bulk_moveable &= list_empty(&vm->evicted), the bulk_moveable
is still false even the evicted list is empty at that time. That's not
expected.

So we just set vm->bulk_moveable as true at amdgpu_vm_init() during vm
init, the issue is fixed.

Thanks,
Ray
