vmw_bo_unreference sets the input buffer to null on exit, resulting in
null ptr deref's on the subsequent drm gem put calls.
This went unnoticed because only very old userspace would be exercising
those paths but it wouldn't be hard to hit on old distros with brand
new kernels.
Introduce a new function that abstracts unrefing of user bo's to make
the code cleaner and more explicit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
