Satyanarayana K V P 16843e6638 drm/sa: Split drm_suballoc_new() into SA alloc and init helpers
drm_suballoc_new() currently both allocates the SA object using kmalloc()
and searches for a suitable hole in the sub-allocator for the requested
size. If SA allocation is done by holding sub-allocator mutex, this design
can lead to reclaim safety issues.

By splitting the kmalloc() step outside of the critical section, we allow
the memory allocation to use GFP_KERNEL (reclaim-safe) while ensuring that
the initialization step that holds reclaim-tainted locks (sub-allocator
mutex) operates in a reclaim-unsafe context with pre-allocated memory.

This separation prevents potential deadlocks where memory reclaim could
attempt to acquire locks that are already held during the sub-allocator
operations.
