idr_for_each_entry() is fine, but will prematurely terminate on
transient NULL entries. It should be switched over to idr_for_each,
which allows you to handle this explicitly.
Note that transient NULL pointers in drm_file.object_idr have been a
thing since f6cd7daecff5 ("drm: Release driver references to handle
before making it available again"), this is a really old issue.
Since it's just a premature loop terminate the impact should be fairly
benign, at least for any debugfs or fdinfo code.
On top of that this code also drops the drm_file.table_lock lock while
iterating, which can mess up the iterator state. And that's actually
bad.
