Technical description

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

drm/ttm: Drop tt->restore after successful restore

ttm_pool_restore_and_alloc() can successfully complete the restore

process via ttm_pool_restore_commit(), but tt->restore is not dropped

afterward. As a result, subsequent backup/restore flows observe what

appears to be a completed restore, while in reality shmem handles are

still installed in tt->pages, leading to the stack trace below.

Fix this by freeing and dropping tt->restore in

ttm_pool_restore_and_alloc() upon successful completion of the restore.
