Typically when we look up objects under the rcu lock, we take a reference
to make sure the returned object pointer is valid.
Now provide a function to look up an object and instead of taking a
reference to it, keep the rcu lock held when returning the object pointer.
This means that the object pointer is valid as long as the rcu lock is
held, but the object may be doomed (its refcount may be zero). Any
persistent usage of the object pointer outside of the rcu lock requires
a reference to be taken using kref_get_unless_zero().

Instead of generating user-space object handles based on a, possibly
processed, hash of the kernel address of the object, use idr to generate
and lookup those handles. This might improve somewhat on security since
we loose all connections to the object's kernel address. Also idr is
designed to do just this.
As a todo-item, since user-space handles are now generated in sequence,
we can probably use a much simpler hash function to hash them.

driver
No other driver is using this functionality so move it out of TTM and
into the vmwgfx driver. Update includes and remove exports.
Also annotate to remove false static analyzer lock balance warnings.
