Okay, so, IIUC, this is the lock protecting the GEM's active mappings
list, meaning the lock is likely to be attached to the GEM object. Are
we expected to call drm_gpuva_manager_set_ext_lock() every time we call
drm_gpuva_[un]link(), or are we supposed to have some lock at the
device level serializing all drm_gpuva_[un]link() calls across VMs? The
later doesn't sound like a good option to me, and the former feels a bit
weird. I'm wondering if we shouldn't just drop this assert_held() check
when DRM_GPUVA_MANAGER_LOCK_EXTERN is set. Alternatively, we could say
that any driver wanting to use a custom lock (which is basically all
drivers modifying the VA space asynchronously in the ::run_job() path)
has to provide its own variant of drm_gpuva_[un]link() (maybe with its
own VA list too), which doesn't sound like a good idea either.
