This commit consolidates map and unmap paths into a single pvr_vm_bind()
entry point taking an array of struct pvr_vm_bind_desc.

[Severity: High]
Can calling pvr_vm_bind_ops_free() and pvr_vm_bind_op_fini() after dropping
vm_ctx->lock cause a use-after-free on op_ctx->curr_page.l0_table and
l1_table?
During pvr_vm_bind_op_exec(), pvr_mmu_map() and pvr_mmu_unmap() leave raw
pointers to the active page tables in op_ctx->curr_page.l0_table and
l1_table with pending syncs recorded in op_ctx->sync_level_required.
Previously, pvr_vm_unmap_obj_locked() ran pvr_vm_bind_op_fini() ->
pvr_mmu_op_context_destroy() -> pvr_mmu_op_context_sync() while holding
vm_ctx->lock. With vm_ctx->lock dropped before pvr_vm_bind_ops_free(), a
second thread can unmap the remaining entries in the same L0 or L1 table
and free it before the first thread syncs:
CPU0 CPU1
pvr_vm_bind()
mutex_lock(&vm_ctx->lock)
pvr_vm_bind_op_exec(&bind_ops[0])
/* leaves curr_page.l0_table = T0,
T0->entry_count == 1 */
mutex_unlock(&vm_ctx->lock)
pvr_vm_bind()
mutex_lock(&vm_ctx->lock)
pvr_vm_bind_op_exec(...)
/* unmaps last entry in T0,
queues T0 on l0_free_tables */
mutex_unlock(&vm_ctx->lock)
pvr_vm_bind_ops_free()
...
pvr_page_table_l0_free(T0)
pvr_vm_bind_ops_free()
pvr_vm_bind_op_fini(&bind_ops[0])
pvr_mmu_op_context_destroy()
...
pvr_page_table_l0_sync(T0) <-- use-after-free
In addition, when desc_count > 1 in pvr_vm_bind(), deferring
pvr_mmu_op_context_sync() until pvr_vm_bind_ops_free() runs after the loop
breaks the leaf-to-root (L0 -> L1 -> L2) DMA sync order across operations in
the same batch (and a later unmap in the batch can free a table still
referenced by an earlier op's curr_page). For instance, if bind_ops[0]
allocates an L1 table T1 (requiring a level 2 sync) and bind_ops[1] attaches
a new L0 table T0_b to T1, freeing bind_ops[0] first syncs T1 and L2 before
freeing bind_ops[1] syncs T0_b.
