Sorry, should be "vm is idle".

Yeah, as above, my typo.

"and", not "or"?

But now we does not check vm idle directly in amdgpu_gem_va_update_vm().
If VM bo has not been considered for eviction, it could be either idle or busy.

Just want to confirm if the fix should be only change amdgpu_vm_ready()
to use evicting flag or besides using evicting flag, also check vm_idle() in
amdgpu_gem_va_update_vm().
