From: Rob Clark <robdclark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Adding the vm to the vm_xa table makes it visible to userspace, which
could try to race with us to close the vm. So we need to take our extra
reference before putting it in the table.

Note, you could list commit e1a7ab4fca0c ("drm/i915: Remove the vm open
count") as the "fixed" commit, but really the issue seems to go back
much further (with the fix needing some backporting in the process).
