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.

NAK, that is actually not correct either.

The previous implementation doesn't have an use after free, but actually a memory leak.

I completely agree that adding the BO to the LRU in case of an error is incorrect, but ttm_bo_add_to_lru() will add some references to the BO.

So the following ttm_bo_unref() will just drop the initial reference.

Let's clean up this mess by moving the freeing of the BO in case of an error to the caller.

Regards,
Christian.
