That sounds correct. It was some time ago since I worked with this code
but when i started IIRC KASAN told me the request along with the whole
capture list could disappear under us due to a parallel capture.
So the request reference added then might cover a bit too much now that
we also hold references on vma resources, which it looks like we do in
intel_engine_coredump_add_vma().
Another thing which is crappy with the current error capture code is
that the request capture list needs to be freed with the request and
not when the request signals (We can't block request signalling in the
capture code to keep the capture list around). There might be many
signaled requests hanging around in non-pruned dma_resv objects and
thus many unused capture lists with many unused vma resources. :/
