Yah, I am not sure about the intent of this check. It is expecting the
vma->resource->bi.pages to just point to the sg table of the object
(vma->obj->mm.rsgt->table) which is reference counted, instead of
decoupling it as you mentioned above. Also, the return code -EAGAIN
is bit confusing to me as I am not sure how trying again will fix it.

This check was preventing eviction of objects with persistent (vm_bind)
vmas (Hence the update is in this patch).
Persistent vmas have I915_GTT_VIEW_PARTIAL, so they will get their sg table
by calling intel_partial_pages() which creates a new sg table instead of
pointing to object's sg table (as done in the I915_GTT_VIEW_NORMAL case).]

If the vma is removed before async unbind completes, we probably
should wait for async unbind to complete before releaseing the vma
pages? Other option is to have vma point to object's sg table even for
partial gtt_view (instead of creating a new sg table) and handle
partial binding during the page table update.

I can also keep the above removed check and only don't check it for
persistent vmas.

Any thoughts?
