Subject: CVE-2025-68189: drm/msm: Fix GEM free for imported dma-bufs

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/msm: Fix GEM free for imported dma-bufs

Imported dma-bufs also have obj->resv != &obj->_resv.  So we should
check both this condition in addition to flags for handling the
_NO_SHARE case.

Fixes this splat that was reported with IRIS video playback:

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9674c4cb2fe62727a2e4d3f66065ab949dfa61be
