[PATCH] drm/i915: Fix reporting of size of created GEM object

Commit e163484afa8d ("drm/i915: Update size upon return from
GEM_CREATE") (re)introduced reporting of actual size of created GEM
objects, possibly rounded up on object alignment.  Unfortunately, its
implementation resulted in a possible use-after-free bug.  The bug has
been fixed by commit 929eec99f5fd ("drm/i915: Avoid use-after-free in
reporting create.size") at the cost of possibly incorrect value being
reported as actual object size.

Safely restore correct reporting by capturing actual size of created
GEM object before a reference to the object is put.

Fixes: 929eec99f5fd ("drm/i915: Avoid use-after-free in reporting create.size")
