drm/vmwgfx: Fix a destoy-while-held mutex problem.
When validating legacy surfaces, the backup bo might be destroyed at surface validate time. However, the kms resource validation code may have the bo reserved, so we will destroy a locked mutex. While there shouldn't be any other users of that mutex when it is destroyed, it causes a lock leak and thus throws a lockdep error. Fix this by having the kms resource validation code hold a reference to the bo while we have it reserved. We do this by introducing a validation context which might come in handy when the kms code is extended to validate multiple resources or buffers.
