Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/panthor: Fix kernel panic on partial unmap of a GPU VA region

This commit address a kernel panic issue that can happen if Userspace
tries to partially unmap a GPU virtual region (aka drm_gpuva).
The VM_BIND interface allows partial unmapping of a BO.

Panthor driver pre-allocates memory for the new drm_gpuva structures
that would be needed for the map/unmap operation, done using drm_gpuvm
layer. It expected that only one new drm_gpuva would be needed on umap
but a partial unmap can require 2 new drm_gpuva and that's why it
ended up doing a NULL pointer dereference causing a kernel panic.

Following dump was seen when partial unmap was exercised.
