Subject: [PATCH v2] drm/panthor: Fix potential memleak of vma structure

This commit addresses a memleak issue of panthor_vma (or drm_gpuva)
structure in Panthor driver, that can happen if the GPU page table
update operation to map the pages fail.
The issue is very unlikely to occur in practice.

v2: Add panthor_vm_op_ctx_return_vma() helper (Boris)

Fixes: 647810ec2476 ("drm/panthor: Add the MMU/VM logical block")
