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, leadin go 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().

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

but then we have

	if (vm_ddestroy)
		i915_vm_resv_put(vma->vm);

were we reference to a freed vm, right? Do we need to check it
here, as well?

Thanks, will fix.

No, it's not needed, since if vm_ddestroy is true, we keep the vm alive 
using the vm
resv_ref until i915_vm_resv_put(). This is for the rare occasions where, 
during vm destruction, we fail to grab an object reference and therefore 
vma destruction is left for the object destructor. In those cases the 
vma needs to keep the vm in memory for it to be able to grab the vm mutex.
