Subject: [PATCH] drm/msm: protect against faults from copy_from_user() in
 submit ioctl

An evil userspace could try to cause deadlock by passing an unfaulted-in
GEM bo as submit->bos (or submit->cmds) table.  Which will trigger
msm_gem_fault() while we already hold struct_mutex.  See:

https://github.com/freedreno/msmtest/blob/master/evilsubmittest.c
