Looks like drm_gem_shmem_is_purgeable() already does the !imported &&
!exported check. For the imported case, I think we're good, since
userspace can't change the madv value before ->import_attach has been
set. For the exporter case, we need to make sure there's no race
between the export and madvise operations, which I can probably do from
the gem->export() hook by taking the shrinker or bo->mappings lock.

I feel like making sure an exported BO can't be purged or a purged BO
can't be exported would be much simpler than making sure all importers
are ready to have the sgt freed.
