Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] drm/nouveau/dmem: Fix Memory Leaking and Device Channels configuration

This patch series addresses two critical issues in the Nouveau driver
related to device channels, error handling, and memory leaks.

- Memory Leak in migrate_to_ram: The migrate_to_ram function was
  identified as leaking memory when a copy push command fails. This
  results in the function returning a dirty HIGH_USER page, which can
  expose sensitive information and pose a security risk. To mitigate
  this vulnerability, the patch ensures that a zero page is allocated for
  the destination page, thereby preventing memory leaks and enhancing
  driver security in case of failure.

- Privileged Error in Copy Engine Channel: An error was observed when
  the nouveau_dmem_copy_one function is executed, leading to a Host Copy
  Engine Privileged error on channel 1. The patch resolves this by
  adjusting the Copy Engine channel configuration to permit privileged
  push commands, resolving the error.

Changes since V1:
- Fixed version according to Danilo Krummrich's comments.
