[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2] drm/i915: Fix vm use-after-free in vma destruction

In vma destruction, the following race may occur:

Thread 1:	    		  Thread 2:
i915_vma_destroy();

  ...
  list_del_init(vma->vm_link);
  ...
  mutex_unlock(vma->vm->mutex);
				  __i915_vm_release();
release_references();

And in release_reference() we dereference vma->vm to get to the
vm gt pointer, leading to a use-after free.

However, __i915_vm_release() grabs the vm->mutex so the vm won't be
destroyed before vma->vm->mutex is released, so extract the gt pointer
under the vm->mutex to avoid the vma->vm dereference in
release_references().

v2: Fix a typo in the commit message (Andi Shyti)

Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/5944
Fixes: e1a7ab4fca ("drm/i915: Remove the vm open count")
