Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdkfd: Avoid double-unpin of DOORBELL/MMIO BOs on free

amdgpu_amdkfd_gpuvm_free_memory_of_gpu() unpinned DOORBELL and MMIO
remap BOs (which are pinned at allocation time) before checking whether
the BO is still mapped to the GPU. When the BO is still mapped, the
function returns -EBUSY and leaves the BO alive, but it has already
been unpinned. The BO is then unpinned again when it is finally freed
during process teardown, triggering a ttm_bo_unpin() underflow warning:

Move the unpin after the mapped_to_gpu_memory check so it only happens
once we are committed to freeing the BO.
