There was an attempt to fix an issue of illegal attempts to free a still active i915 VMA object when parking a GT believed to be idle, reported by CI on 2-GT Meteor Lake. As a solution, an extra wakeref for a Primary GT was acquired from i915_gem_do_execbuffer() -- see commit f56fe3e91787 ("drm/i915: Fix a VMA UAF for multi-gt platform"). However, that fix occurred insufficient -- the issue was still reported by CI. That wakeref was released on exit from i915_gem_do_execbuffer(), then potentially before completion of the request and deactivation of its associated VMAs. Moreover, CI reports indicated that single-GT platforms also suffered sporadically from the same race. Since the issue has now been fixed by a preceding patch "drm/i915/vma: Fix UAF on destroy against retire race", drop the no longer useful changes introduced by that insufficient fix. v3: Also drop the no longer used .wakeref_gt0 field from struct i915_execbuffer. v2: Avoid the word "revert" in commit message (Rodrigo), - update commit description reusing relevant chunks dropped from the description of the proper fix (Rodrigo).
