Dave Airlie 91494dee10 xe: populate buffers before exporting them.
Before exporting a buffer, make sure it has been populated with
pages at least once.

While discussing cgroups we noticed a problem where you could export
a BO to a dma-buf without having it ever being backed or accounted for.

This meant in low memory situations or eventually with cgroups, a
lower privledged process might cause the compositor to try and allocate
a lot of memory on it's behalf and this could fail. At least make
sure the exporter has managed to allocate the RAM at least once
before exporting the object.

This only applies currently to TTM_PL_SYSTEM objects, because
GTT objects get populated on first validate, and VRAM doesn't
use TT.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
