[PATCH 6.12 484/567] drm/imagination: Disallow exporting of PM/FW protected objects

From: Alessio Belle <alessio.belle@imgtec.com>

commit 6b991ad8dc3abfe5720fc2e9ee96be63ae43e362 upstream.

These objects are meant to be used by the GPU firmware or by the PM unit
within the GPU, in which case they may contain physical addresses.

This adds a layer of protection against exposing potentially exploitable
information outside of the driver.
