drm/gem-dma: bound the mmap against the object size

This commit updates drm_gem_dma_mmap() to pass the object size to the DMA
layer instead of the VMA length. It also adds an early bounds check to
reject VMA lengths exceeding the object size.

[Severity: Critical]
This is a pre-existing issue, but is it possible this error path causes a
double-put of the GEM object?

When a user calls mmap on a DRM device node under memory pressure,
drm_gem_mmap_obj() in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem.c sets vma->vm_private_data
to the object and then calls the object's mmap function:

drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem.c:drm_gem_mmap_obj() {
    ...
    vma->vm_private_data = obj;
    ...
    ret = obj->funcs->mmap(obj, vma);
    ...
}

If the underlying dma_mmap_pages() or dma_mmap_wc() fails (for example,
returning -ENOMEM), drm_gem_dma_mmap() calls drm_gem_vm_close(vma), which
drops the first reference.

The error is then returned to drm_gem_mmap_obj(), which takes the error
path and drops a second reference:

drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem.c:drm_gem_mmap_obj() {
    ...
err_drm_gem_object_put:
    drm_gem_object_put(obj);
    return ret;
}

Could this double-put lead to a use-after-free?
