Can we ditch va->gem.obj now and replace it with an accessor to the  
vm_bo's pointer?

This get->put dance is unneccesary? If the caller is required to hold a 
lock on obj it is also required to hold a reference on obj.

Besides, if the vm_bo's reference on obj is otherwise the last one, it 
will still be freed before the function exits.
