[PATCH v2 2/2] drm/shmem-helper: Avoid vm_open error paths

From: Rob Clark <robdclark at chromium.org>

vm_open() is not allowed to fail.  Fortunately we are guaranteed that
the pages are already pinned, thanks to the initial mmap which is now
being cloned into a forked process, and only need to increment the
refcnt.  So just increment it directly.  Previously if a signal was
delivered at the wrong time to the forking process, the
mutex_lock_interruptible() could fail resulting in the pages_use_count
not being incremented.

Fixes: 2194a63a818d ("drm: Add library for shmem backed GEM objects")
