[5.12 regression] ttm->pages NULL dereference with radeon driver

Hi,

we've received a regression report showing NULL dereference Oops with
radeon driver on 5.12 kernel:
  https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1185516

It turned out that the recent TTM cleanup / refactoring via commit
0575ff3d33cd ("drm/radeon: stop using pages with
drm_prime_sg_to_page_addr_arrays v2") is the culprit.  On 5.12 kernel,
ttm->pages is no longer allocated / set up, while the radeon driver
still has a few places assuming the valid ttm->pages, and for the
reporter (running the modesettig driver), radeon_gart_bind() hits the
problem.

A hackish patch below was confirmed to work, at least, but obviously
we need a proper fix.

Could you take a look at it?


thanks,

Takashi
