Beyond the free usecase, the serialisation of the individual releases is
coordinated by owning the backing storage operation i.e. we release
when revoking the vma under the vma->vm->mutex, and the pages under
currently the obj->mm.lock; to create a new fault mapping, the handlers
will have taken a reference to either the vma or backing store and thus
have serialised with the release. i915_gem_object_release_mmap() should
be only used on the free path, since it's usual for us to have to do
both. Now what are we doing in set-tiling? The tiling only affects ggtt
mmapings...
