From: Rob Clark <robdclark@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Once we create the handle, the handle owns the reference. Currently nothing was doing anything with the shmem ptr after the handle was created, but let's change drm_gem_shmem_create_with_handle() to not return the pointer, so-as to not encourage problematic use of this function in the future. As a bonus, it makes the code a bit cleaner.
