drm/i915/kvmgt: Hold struct kvm reference
commit 93a15b58 upstream. The kvmgt code keeps a pointer to the struct kvm associated with the device, but doesn't actually hold a reference to it. If we do unclean shutdown testing (ie. killing the user process), then we can see the kvm association to the device unset, which causes kvmgt to trigger a device release via a work queue. Naturally we cannot guarantee that the cached struct kvm pointer is still valid at this point without holding a reference. The observed failure in this case is a stuck cpu trying to acquire the spinlock from the invalid reference, but other failure modes are clearly possible. Hold a reference to avoid this.
