In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: Fix kfd process ref leaking when userptr unmapping
kfd_lookup_process_by_pid hold the kfd process reference to ensure it
doesn't get destroyed while sending the segfault event to user space.
Calling kfd_lookup_process_by_pid as function parameter leaks the kfd
process refcount and miss the NULL pointer check if app process is
already destroyed.
