Fixes a potential race condition in amdgpu that looks as follows:
Task 1: attempt ttm_bo_init, but ttm_bo_validate fails
Task 1: add BO to global list anyway
Task 2: grabs hold of the BO, waits on its reservation lock
Task 1: releases its reference of the BO; never gives up the
reservation lock
The patch "drm/amdgpu: fix a potential deadlock in
amdgpu_bo_create_restricted()" attempts to fix that by releasing
the reservation lock in amdgpu code; unfortunately, it introduces
a use-after-free when this race _doesn't_ happen.
This patch should fix the race properly by never adding the BO
to the global list in the first place.

These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
