[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Check for get_pages instead of shmem (filp)

[Ben Widawsky]

This behavior of checking for a shmem backed GEM object was introduced here:

    drm/i915: Refactor shmem pread setup

It is possible for an object to not be a shmem backed GEM object (for example
userptr objects). An example of how we hit this failure can be found through
copy_batch() in the command parser because we allocate a userptr object for the
batch which contains privileged instructions. Userptr calls
drm_gem_private_object_init() which explicitly sets the filp to none.

It is equally feasible to simply remove the check altogether. You'll probably
oops with get_pages somewhere, but that's okay IMO because this condition
should be a driver bug, and not trigger-able by userspace. On this note, the
function name could probably benefit from a change, but whatever.

NOTE: I manually retyped this from a test machine. So I haven't even compiled
this exact patch.
