    drm/mediatek: Correctly free sg_table in gem prime vmap · dcc583c2
    Chen-Yu Tsai authored
    The MediaTek DRM driver implements GEM PRIME vmap by fetching the
    sg_table for the object, iterating through the pages, and then
    vmapping them. In essence, unlike the GEM DMA helpers which vmap
    when the object is first created or imported, the MediaTek version
    does it on request.
    
    Unfortunately, the code never correctly frees the sg_table contents.
    This results in a kernel memory leak. On a Hayato device with a text
    console on the internal display, this results in the system running
    out of memory in a few days from all the console screen cursor updates.
    
    Add sg_free_table() to correctly free the contents of the sg_table. This
    was missing despite explicitly required by mtk_gem_prime_get_sg_table().
    
    Also move the "out" shortcut label to after the kfree() call for the
    sg_table. Having sg_free_table() together with kfree() makes more sense.
    The shortcut is only used when the object already has a kernel address,
    in which case the pointer is NULL and kfree() does nothing. Hence this
    change causes no functional change.
