When updating from 5.4.219 -> 5.4.256 I started getting a runtime warning:

It looks like this was a backporting error for the upstream patch
963b2e8c428f "drm/etnaviv: fix reference leak when mmaping imported buffer"

In the 5.4 kernel there are 2 variants of the object put function:
	drm_gem_object_put() [which requires lock to be held]
	drm_gem_object_put_unlocked() [which requires lock to be NOT held]

In later kernels [5.14+] this has gone and there just drm_gem_object_put()
which requires lock to be NOT held.

So the memory leak pach, which added a call to drm_gem_object_put() was correct
on newer kernels but wrong on 5.4 and earlier ones.

So switch back to using the _unlocked variant for old kernels.
This should only be applied to the 5.4, 4.19 and 4.14 longterm branches;
mainline and more recent longterms already have the correct fix.
