Yah, it is just that vma->pages (hence vma_res.bi.pages), ie., the sg table
(if decoupled from obj's sg table) gets freed in __vma_put_pages() before
async vma resource is asynchronously unbound and released.
This technically seems fine as vma_res.bi.pages are only accessed during
binding and not during unbind. But seems bad to keep a pointer dangling
after releasing the memory.
