ttm_bo_vm_fault_reserved() invokes dma_fence_get(), which returns a
reference of the specified dma_fence object to "moving" with increased
refcnt.

When ttm_bo_vm_fault_reserved() returns, local variable "moving" becomes
invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.

The reference counting issue happens in several exception handling paths
of ttm_bo_vm_fault_reserved(). When those error scenarios occur such as
"err" equals to -EBUSY, the function forgets to decrease the refcnt
increased by dma_fence_get(), causing a refcnt leak.

Fix this issue by calling dma_fence_put() when no_wait_gpu flag is
equals to true.

Good catch, Reviewed-by: Christian KÃnig <christian.koenig@xxxxxxx>.

Going to pick that up for drm-misc-fixes.
