drm/msm: Fix bootup splat with separate_gpu_drm modparam
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm: Fix bootup splat with separate_gpu_drm modparam The drm_gem_for_each_gpuvm_bo() call from lookup_vma() accesses drm_gem_obj.gpuva.list, which is not initialized when the drm driver does not support DRIVER_GEM_GPUVA feature.
