[PATCH 1/2] drm/amd/display: Avoid race between dcn10_set_drr() and dc_state_destruct()

From: Tobias Jakobi <tjakobi at math.uni-bielefeld.de>

dc_state_destruct() nulls the resource context of the DC state. The pipe
context passed to dcn10_set_drr() is a member of this resource context.

If dc_state_destruct() is called parallel to the IRQ processing (which
calls dcn10_set_drr() at some point), we can end up using already nulled
function callback fields of struct stream_resource.

The logic in dcn10_set_drr() already tries to avoid this, by checking tg
against NULL. But if the nulling happens exactly after the NULL check and
before the next access, then we get a race.

Avoid this by copying tg first to a local variable, and then use this
variable for all the operations. This should work, as long as nobody
frees the resource pool where the timing generators live.

Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3142
Fixes: 06ad7e164256 ("drm/amd/display: Destroy DC context while keeping DML and DML2")
