Joonas Lahtinen f6d4afc9ec drm/i915/gem: Drop check for changed VM in EXECBUF
Since the introduction of d4433c7600 ("drm/i915/gem: Use the proto-context
to handle create parameters (v5)") it has not been possible for VM to change
after context creation so the check will never fail.

Sima's analysis:

  This check was added in f7ce8639f6 ("drm/i915/gem: Split the context's
  obj:vma lut into its own mutex") but without any hint in the commit
  message as to why. In another hunk of that commit there's a hint though in
  __eb_add_lut:

          /* user racing with ctx set-vm */

  This would mean that this bug was introduced in e0695db729 ("drm/i915:
  Create/destroy VM (ppGTT) for use with contexts"), which allowed to change
  the gem_ctx->vm at runtime, opening up the race that was partially fixed
  in the earlier referenced commit about a year later.

  But it cannot be exploited anymore in anything remotely recent because
  with the introduction of proto-contexts we've made gem_ctx->vm invariant
  again, exactly to preemptively close all these potential issues.
  Specifically d4433c7600 ("drm/i915/gem: Use the proto-context to handle
  create parameters (v5)") is the vm specific part of the proto-context
  work.

v3:
- Include Sima's analysis and WARN_ON_ONCE

v4:
- Focus only on latest mainline codebase

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.
