With i915_ttm_migrate directly, no.  But, in the last patch in the
series, we're trying to migrate LMEM+SMEM buffers into SMEM on
attach() and pin it there.  This blows up in a very unexpected (IMO)
way.  The flow goes something like this:

 - Client attempts a dma-buf import from another device
 - In attach() we call i915_gem_object_migrate() which calls
i915_ttm_migrate() which migrates as requested.
 - Once the migration is complete, we call i915_gem_object_pin_pages()
which calls i915_ttm_get_pages() which depends on
i915_ttm_placement_from_obj() and so migrates it right back to LMEM.

Maybe the problem here is actually that our TTM code isn't respecting
obj->mm.pages_pin_count?

In case you can't tell, I really have no clue what I'm doing here.
I'm really stumbling around in the dark finding things that make my
bug go away.  I'm happy for the feedback.
